The Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (LegCo) is the domestic unicameral legislature of Hong Kong. It sits under China's "one country, two systems" constitutional arrangement. From 1990s to 2010s, it was the power center of Hong Kong's flawed representative democracy. The National People's Congress has full legislative power over Hong Kong. China enacted the Hong Kong national security law in 2020, removed opposition councilors, and eventually jailed them. The current Legislative Council is not democratically representative and about 40% of the seats have remained vacant since 2020.

dbo:abstract
The Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (LegCo) is the domestic unicameral legislature of Hong Kong. It sits under China's "one country, two systems" constitutional arrangement. From 1990s to 2010s, it was the power center of Hong Kong's flawed representative democracy. The National People's Congress has full legislative power over Hong Kong. China enacted the Hong Kong national security law in 2020, removed opposition councilors, and eventually jailed them. The current Legislative Council is not democratically representative and about 40% of the seats have remained vacant since 2020. The functions of the Legislative Council are to enact, amend or repeal laws; examine and approve budgets, taxation and public expenditure; and raise questions on the work of the government. In addition, the Legislative Council is also given the power to endorse the appointment and removal of the judges of the Court of Final Appeal and the Chief Judge of the High Court, as well as the power to impeach the Chief Executive of Hong Kong. The Legislative Council used to be an elected body of 70 members and consisted of two groupings of constituencies. They were: * 5 geographical constituencies (GCs), returning 35 directly elected members through party-list proportional representation (on a largest remainder method and Hare quota); and * the functional constituencies (FCs)— * 1 District Council (Second) functional constituency of limited candidacy, returning 5 directly elected members through the same way as the GCs; and * 28 functional constituencies of limited franchise, returning 30 members. The groupings had constitutional significance. Government bills requires a simple majority of the Council for passage, whereas private member bills requires simple majorities in two discrete divisions of geographical members and functional members for passage. Therefore, the directly elected legislators (mainly from the GCs) had minimal influence over government policy and legislative agenda. Filibusters became more frequent in the 2010s. In aftermath of the 2019–2020 Hong Kong protests, the upcoming elections for the 7th Legislative Council were postponed for "at least a year" by incumbent Chief Executive Carrie Lam. She cited the 2020-21 COVID-19 pandemic as rationale and relied on her powers under the Emergency Regulations Ordinance. In May 2021, China enacted a drastic overhaul of Hong Kong's electoral system. The change will increase the total number of seats from 70 to 90, but reduce the number of democratically elected representatives from 35 to 20. It established a screening committee to vet all candidates for the Legislative Council, and gave the Pro-Beijing Election Committee the power to appoint 40 seats. The historical Legislative Council of Hong Kong in the British colonial era was created under the 1843 Charter as an advisory council to the Governor. The authority of the colonial legislature expanded throughout its history. A parallel Provisional Legislative Council was put in place by China from 1996 to 1998 to pass law in anticipation of the Hong Kong handover.
