  ## Village representatives
  
  Only 11 residents, including children, meet the 'indigenous' criteria that has traditionally determined who is allowed to vote for village representatives (the 'Indigenous Inhabitant Representative'), that is men whose families have been in the village since 1889.
  
  Following a 2003 landmark ruling by the Court of Final Appeal, a second village chief (the 'Residents Representative') has been elected by all residents, including indigenous ones. Elections for both posts are held every three years, and voters are only eligible if they have resided in the village for a minimum of three years and hold the right of abode in Hong Kong.
  
  The current village chiefs are Mo Kam-Tong (Indigenous Inhabitant Representative) and Kevin Rushton (Resident Representative).
