| Abstract | In 1991, the first direct elections to the Legislative Council based on geographical
constituencies were held in Hong Kong. Before the elections, various polls were
conducted to predict the winners and (he vote shares obtained by the candidates in
each constituency. This article investigates the results of polls conducted by three
academic institutions. The results of two of these institutions were found to be
generally consistent, but the third institution produced somewhat different results.
It is suggested that the use of proper survey methods is of utmost importance in
enhancing the overall validity and reliability of such polls. |
