From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Insurance functional constituency (Chinese: 保險界功能界別) is a functional constituency in the elections for the Legislative Council of Hong Kong first created in 1998. Being one of the functional constituencies with fewest electorates, the constituency is restricted to only 126 insurers as of 2021.[1] It corresponds to the Insurance Subsector in the Election Committee.
