According to the “Voter Registration Legislation”, the recognition of a legal person is valid for five years. In other words, legal persons who were recognized before October 15^th, 2008 will have their recognition expired on October 15^th this year. Therefore the renewal application must be submitted by the legal person within 150 to 90 days before the recognition expires. If no renewal application is submitted within the said period, the recognition shall lose effect once it expires, which will also lead to the cancellation of voter registration.

The Sports Committee therefore convened the 2^nd, 3^rd and 4^th special meetings respectively on May 23^rd, June 6^th and 20^th so as to examine and adopt the renewal application for the 155 sports legal persons.
