Kowloon East (constituency)

The constituency was formed for the 1998 legislative election, replacing a number of single-member constituencies used until 1995. These were Kowloon East and Kowloon South-east (previously the two-member Kowloon East), Kowloon North-east, Kowloon Central and parts of Kowloon South (previously the two-member Kowloon Central). From 1985 to 1991 the seats were elected by electoral colleges composed of the members of the district boards and Urban Council.

The following lists the members since the creation of the Kowloon East constituency. The number of seats allocated to Kowloon East varied between 3 and 5 between 1998 and 2008 due to population changes.

The largest remainder method (with Hare quota) of the proportional representative electoral system was introduced in 1998, replacing the single-member constituencies of the 1995 election. Elected candidates are shown in bold. Brackets indicate the quota + remainder.
