For the rest of the world, elections are a normal approach in deciding the fate of each country. The selection process is usually the same everywhere. But it's different in Hong Kong.
The inclusion of three different types of seat, multiple voting systems and banks voting become a peculiar manifestation of suffrage in this part of the region.
LegCo is the state's parliament, a contemporary equivalent of Hong Kong's colonial British governor that scrutinizes bills and spending in addition to approving appointments and passing laws.
The selection process of the parliamentary seats is not always democratic.
Complications in Hong Kong's electoral system may not be surprising after all. Years back, China promised direct elections for the city-state's Chief Executive by 2017.
However, in August 2014, China's top legislative committee has ruled that voters would be able to choose from a list of two or three candidates selected by a nominating committee which is actually a pro-Beijing group.
Two principles form the heart of Hong Kong's electoral system, quotas and remainders. A quota is the number of votes a candidate needs to receive in order to get elected. For instance, there are a million people who cast their votes in a constituency named Kowloon East which has only five seats available.
From this perspective, a candidate must have 200,000 votes to become an outright winner.
Considering that there are candidates to select from, this is where the approach becomes somewhat strange. For the sake of argument, candidates A and B get 360,000 and 205,000 tallies. Because both have achieved the quota, both get elected without question.
Candidates C, D and E have 175,000, 135,000 and 90,000 votes.
To fill in the remaining three seats, the remainder process kick in. Since A and B already have 200,000 tallies each, their excess figures are then forwarded to their party mates.
A's 160,000 and B's 5,000 extra votes will be forwarded to Candidates F and G. Together with C, D and E, the selection for the other three seats continue with the top three joining A and B on the winning list.
