Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Erick Tsang Kwok-wai revealed the publicity drive on Friday during the first meeting of a Legislative Council subcommittee tasked with discussing the central government’s proposed electoral reforms and scrutinising the bills required to deliver them.
