Under the Improving Electoral System (Consolidated Amendments) Ordinance 2021 (Ordinance), the Legislative Council (LegCo) comprises 90 Members, among which 40 are Members returned by the 2021 Election Committee, 30 are Members returned by functional constituencies (FC), and 20 are Members returned by geographical constituencies through direct elections. There will be one member each from the Engineering FC and Technology and Innovation (T&I) FC.

The electorates of the Engineering FC remain individual votes where HKIE Corporate Members and Registered Professional Engineer (RPE) are eligible for registration. However, the electorates of the T&I FC are body voters, including the HKIE IT Division as one of the listed bodies.

In consideration of electorship of the two FCs, the Institution shall provide equal and fair services to all the candidates standing for election of the Engineering FC while communication services are not provided to candidates running for the T&I FC.
