Lee Pui-ying, 60, elected to Southern District Council in November 1999, was charged by the Independent Commission Against Corruption with voting offences. Lee, who won his seat in the Stanley and Shek O constituency, will appear in Western Court today on two counts of conspiracy to defraud the Registration and Electoral Office and two counts of inciting electors to pervert the course of public justice.

Yesterday, Andrew Ng Cheong-fai, 50, a senior conveyancing clerk and Choy Chi-king, 29, a secretary with a solicitors' firm, who pleaded guilty to two voting offences, were sentenced to two months' jail by magistrate Paul Kelly at Western Court. It was alleged that Lee conspired with Ng and Choy for them to be falsely registered as electors in the Stanley and Shek O constituency.
