While I appreciate there are some simarities between the HK election committees and US electrocal colleges, there is no need to compare them so much. The article needs to be written so that people who don't understand either can get to know about the HK EC. N.B. I'm talking about the article here [1] Nil Einne 11:22, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

It has been suggested that something called "Hong Kong Englsh" be the standard for this article on the basis that "The standard is used in HK-related articles to allow for regionalisms, variations in spelling, and loanwords used in articles related to Hong Kong." I invite interested editors to illustrate with examples from the article where this has any relevance. The specific defect in suggesting that an article be "Hong Kong English" is that it leaves completely open the question of whether British or American English spellings ought to be used as well as grammatical conventions and usages. So-called "Hong Kong English" provides no guidance whatsoever to this question and this is by far the most significant question an answer to which is required by editors working on the page. As far as loanwords are concerned, to confine the article to, say, British English does not constrain the use of such terms, e.g. yum cha. As for "regionalisms", that is just simply too vague to address. Perhaps, that can be fleshed out by someone. The bottom line is that for textual material, if editors are to be given a guidepost, "Hong Kong English" is as good as hanging up a blank plank. sirlanz 07:32, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
It seems this section has some inaccurate figures which need to be changed in accordance with the new changes made in 2021. Here is a link that could help: https://www.cmab.gov.hk/improvement/en/ceo-committee/index.html
