The 1975 Hong Kong Urban Council election was held on 5 March 1975 for six of the 12 elected seats of the Urban Council of Hong Kong. 10,903 eligible voters cast their votes, higher than any previous election, though still less than a third of registered voters, less than five per cent of those eligible ratepayers, civil servants, professionals and other professions and a much tinier proportion still of the adult population.[1] For the first time polling stations were set up in the New Territoriessatellite towns in Tsuen Wan, Yuen Long and Tai Po.
