The New Territories North West geographical constituency is one of the ten geographical constituencies in the elections for the Legislative Council of Hong Kong which elects two members of the Legislative Council using the single non-transferable vote (SNTV) system. The constituency covers Tuen Mun District and southern part of Yuen Long District in New Territories.[3]

History

[edit]

The constituency was created under the overhaul of the electoral system imposed by the Beijing government in 2021, replacing Tuen Mun District and the southern part of Yuen Long District (all District Council constituencies not covered by New Territories North) of the New Territories West used from 1998 to 2021. A constituency with the same name were also created for the 1995 Legislative Council election in the late colonial period.
