Hong Kong will launch a trial scheme next year to handle proxy voting via an electronic platform, a move designed to pave the way for a cap on proxies and curb rampant bid-rigging in private housing estates. Announcing the plan on Saturday, Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs Alice Mak Mei-kuen said the government had decided against an immediate limit on proxy votes under proposed amendments to the Building Management Ordinance.
