§ “DE Way Out” requests people to register as POP Panel members before submitting opinions via the online platform. The project, however, also accepts submissions from unregistered people, only that views from unverified sources may not be counted. “DE Way Out” surveys cover areas like reasons of voters’ choice, appraisal of the election process and results, as well as suggestions to resolve the current crisis.
§ On November 23 and 24, volunteers will be deployed by “DE Way Out” to different districts to distribute promotion leaflets. They will invite people to become panel members and then make submissions. The locations of leaflet distribution are yet to be decided. “DE Way Out” requires a lot of volunteers, please register at the HKPORI website.
