"A select group of a few thousand people have begun voting for a powerful
committee that will choose Hong Kong’s next leader and nearly half its
legislature after electoral changes imposed by Beijing to ensure only
“patriots” hold political office.
Those allowed to vote for the 1,500-seat Election Committee on Sunday were
mostly representatives from business, professional and religious communities
with pro-democracy candidates nearly absent in the first election since Beijing
overhauled Hong Kong’s political system earlier this year."
