Since 1997, 55-61% of voters have voted for democratic candidates in Legislative Council elections. The last time a slightly smaller election committee met (to choose Leung), less restrictive constraints on candidate selection were in place, and the leader of the Democratic Party was able to be nominated (though he still received less than 7% of the vote).
自1997年以来，55—61%的投票者在立法会选举中支持民主候选人。上一次较小规模（选出梁振英）选举委员会会议上，实施了对候选人选择的较轻的限制，民主党（Democratic Party）领导人也能获得提名（尽管仍然只获得不到7%的选票）。
