A plebiscite on whether the Sanitary Board should have an official or unofficial majority was held in Hong Kong in June 1896. It was the only plebiscite conducted by the Hong Kong Government on record. The other de facto referendum launched by the pro-democracy camp through the by-election in 2010 was not officially recognised. The result of the plebiscite was overwhelmingly for unofficial majority, however no constitutional changes were made for Sanitary Board, though the constitutions of the Executive and Legislative Council were changed as unofficial members were added as a result.

  • 1896年香港潔淨局組成辦法公投,於1896年6月舉行,此公投的議題為當時的潔淨局議員應以非官守或官守議員佔多數。此公投為香港歷史上唯一一次獲官方認證的公投,而2010年由泛民主派策劃的五區公投則是一個以「公投」為口號的立法會補選。 此次公投的結果為壓倒性支持潔淨局議員應以非官守議員佔大多數。不過在公投之後,潔淨局議員產生辦法並沒有作出改變,反而是行政局及定例局(後期改稱立法局)的非官守議員數目增加,以回應這個結果。 此次公投可視作大英帝國殖民地首個有關政制改革的討論,它比香港總督楊慕琦在1940年代提出、有關政制民主化的《楊慕琦計劃》,以及於1980年代崛起的民主陣營還要早。 (zh)

  • A plebiscite on whether the Sanitary Board should have an official or unofficial majority was held in Hong Kong in June 1896. It was the only plebiscite conducted by the Hong Kong Government on record. The other de facto referendum launched by the pro-democracy camp through the by-election in 2010 was not officially recognised. The result of the plebiscite was overwhelmingly for unofficial majority, however no constitutional changes were made for Sanitary Board, though the constitutions of the Executive and Legislative Council were changed as unofficial members were added as a result. The 1896 plebiscite could be seen as part of the first major debate on the constitutional reform in the crown colony during the 1890s. It was much earlier than the Governor Mark Aitchison Young's Young Plan in the 1940s and 1950s and the rise of the modern pro-democracy camp in the 1980s. (en)
