| 单词 | Right to vote |
| 释义 | 投票權 The ability to cast a vote in full, free and democratic elections. Every permanent resident of Hong Kong shall have the right and the opportunity, without distinction of any kind and without unreasonable restrictions, to vote at genuine periodic elections which shall be by universal and equal suffrage and shall be held by secret ballot, guaranteeing the free expression of the will of the electors: Hong Kong Bill of Rights Ordinance (Cap 383) s 8 art 21(b); International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights 1966 art 25(b); Basic Law art 26. Although it does not specify the types of election in which a citizen should have such rights, from the context of this article, particularly the reference to universal suffrage, it would seem that it applies to public elections, including at the regional and local levels: Chan Wah v Hang Hau Rural Committee [2000] 1 HKLRD 411 (CA). 在正式、自由及民主的選舉有投票的能力。凡屬永久性居民，無分任何區別及不受無理限制，均應有權利及機會，在真正、定期之選舉中投票。選舉權必須普及而平等，選舉應以無記名投票法行之，以保證選民意志之自由表現：《香港人權法案條例》 (第 383章) 第 8條第二十一(b)條；《1966年公民權利和政治權利國際公約》第25(b)條；《基本法》第26條。儘管沒有指明公民在甚麼種類的選舉應有投票權，但從《香港人權法案條例》（第383章）第8條第二十一(乙)條的文意看來，特別是提及有關全民投票，投票權看來在公開選舉適用，包括區域上及地方上的選舉：Chan Wah v Hang Hau Rural Committee [2000] 1 HKLRD 411（上訴法庭）。 |
