In 1997, the EAC succeeded the former Boundary and Election Commission (Traditional Chinese: 選區分界及選舉事務委員會), which was established on July 23, 1993. It is headed by a chairman, a position which has always been filled a High Court (formerly known as Supreme Court) judge. The executive body that is responsible for elections is the Registration and Electoral Office, which reports to the Secretary for Constitutional Affairs.
