About us
Developing a system of
universal suffrage is the most important political issue facing the Hong Kong
S.A.R. today. Design Democracy Hong Kong
is a unique online platform that promotes constructive dialogue on the future
of Hong Kong’s political system. Inspired by the delayed implementation of the
public consultation, it provides a more open, alternative space for the
collection of ideas. This is a non-partisan project sponsored by The University of Hong Kong’s Centre for
Public and Comparative Law, a non-profit virtual research centre in the HKU
Faculty of Law. Users of the website agree to abide by a Code of Conduct and
accept the terms of a Disclaimer.
Design Democracy Hong
Kong has several major features. First, it includes an innovative decision tree
that allows you to build your own proposal for universal suffrage and tell
others about it. Second, it hosts a public forum for users to share their views
and interact. In addition, visitors can listen to and comment on interviews
from our special guests, research background information, and review the latest
developments.
Acknowledgements
The Centre for Comparative and Public Law (CCPL) was established in 1995. Its goals
include advancing knowledge of public law and human rights issues, and facilitating
knowledge exchange with the community. CCPL has organized The Hong Kong
Political Reform Series since 2009, a conference series that promotes dialogue
on political reform among different sectors of the Hong Kong community,
including citizens, politicians, academics, and think-tanks.
