Campaign speeches were more reserved, and there were fewer verbal attacks and mud-slinging than during previous elections. Peace and order prevailed in the elections, clearly demonstrating the maturity of both voters and candidates. The polls were open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on a mild but cool day, ensuring a good percentage turnout. Most votes had been counted early Sunday morning, with only the results from some remote areas still pending.
這次地方選舉，從十天的競選活動及政見發表會來看，熱烈的程度比起過去的選舉，有過之而無不及。
