Details

Election results are available for LegCo under the 3 headings of: Geographical constituencies, District/Functional constituencies and Functional constituencies. Results are displayed in HTML tables, separated over many pages, one for each constituency. Oddly, results seem to be given as total number of votes received for a block of candidates and then indication of which single candidate from that block was elected - rather than breakdown of votes per candidate.

The data is available in machine available format in bulk. Detailed data is available in XLS for "counting stations" at http://www.elections.gov.hk/legco2012/eng/result/rs_ds.html.
