  2. The order of priority of eligible applicants (“priority number”) in market stall selection is generated in a fair and impartial manner by way of open computer balloting. The date of ballot is scheduled for 28 May 2024 (Tuesday).
  3. FEHD has put up 6 stalls for operation. Each eligible applicant will be assigned an application number to participate in the computer balloting. The balloting method is as follows:

    1. FEHD will categorise the applicants based on the trade they selected.  Computer balloting will be conducted for each trade respectively.  The priority number of the applicants for each trade will be generated by computer random sequencing.

  4. If eligible applicants outnumber the available stalls, standby applicants will be put on a waiting list according to their priority numbers.  If short-listed applicants fail to select a stall, standby applicants belonging to the same trade may select a stall according to their priority numbers.  The waiting list will be valid for 12 months from the date of balloting.
  5. Upon completion of ballot, FEHD will notify eligible applicants in writing of their priority numbers.  The result will be uploaded to FEHD's website (www.fehd.gov.hk) the next day for checking by applicants.  FEHD will also invite successful applicants by batches in writing for market stall selection and signing of the Licence Agreement in accordance with the sequence of their priority numbers.
