Kowloon City Magistracy has sentenced a man to two months’ jail for vote-rigging during the 2011 District Council Election, the Independent Commission Against Corruption said today.

On July 16, 2011, the defendant submitted to the Registration & Electoral Office his application for registration as an elector.

The defendant stated a flat in Foo Tat Building, 50 Soy Street, Mong Kok was his only or principal residential address.

An occupant confirmed the defendant had never resided at the address.

The defendant voted in the election after giving the electoral officer information that he knew to be materially false or misleading.
