There is no law for referendum in Hong Kong up till now. In early 2010, five lawmakers resigned from their positions in the legislative council in order to start the “Five-District By-election, De-facto Referendum” campaign. This was the first manifestation of the will for universal suffrage in the form of a referendum campaign since the colonial period. And this provided a trigger point for the public to appraise the relationship between democracy and civic participation. Vote will make a difference.
