It has 70 members in which 35 returned from geographical constituencies plus 5 from a District Council functional constituency by direct elections; and 30 returned from other functional constituencies by indirect elections.

In addition, the Legislative Council is also given the power to endorse the appointment and removal of the judges of the Court of Final Appeal and the Chief Judge of the High Court, as well as the power to impeach the Chief Executive of Hong Kong.Article 68 of the Basic Law states the ultimate aim is the election of all the members of the Legislative Council by universal suffrage.
