In
Hong Kong politics, a functional constituency is a professional or special interest group involved in the electoral process. Eligible voters in a functional constituency may include natural persons as well as other designated legal entities such as organisations and corporations. The Legislative Council of Macao has similar seats reserved for professionals and interest groups. Pro-democracy supporters criticise this system for giving a relative minority too much power and influence. The right to vote for corporations and legal entities has also been a point of controversy. For some functional constituencies, the entire body of eligible voters comprise legal entities that are not natural persons.
