Hong Kong

Each list of candidates for Hong Kong's Legislative Council is subject to a deposit of HK$50,000 for a geographical constituency, and HK$25,000 for a "functional constituency". Deposits are forfeit if the list (or candidate) fails to achieve a vote of less than 3% of the valid votes cast in the constituency. For District Council elections, the deposit amount is HK$3000.
