Hong Kong votes in overhauled 'patriots-only' election

Hong Kong holds an overhauled "patriots-only" legislative council election on Sunday that critics say is undemocratic and in which the government is keen to mobilise voting to show the poll's legitimacy.

Officials have worked to boost turnout, fearing a weak showing could be read as a form of protest against a vote being held without an opposition party participating, people familiar with the effort have told Reuters.
