Amendment to Property Management Ordinance, Hong Kong Institute of Property Management advocates introducing electronic voting

The Hong Kong Institute of Property Management submitted a consultation paper on amending the Buildings Management Ordinance, with over 500 members participating in discussions. It recommended using the "iAM Smart" personal code to verify owners' identities in the long term and studying the introduction of electronic voting. The Institute supports mandatory disclosure of interests, specifying criminal penalties for false declarations, intervention by the authority when a owners' corporation is paralysed, and the establishment of an "Appeals Tribunal (Building Management)", as well as proposing to tackle bid-rigging at the source. The consultation period ended on the 11th of last month.
