The 1975 Urban Council Election was held on 5 March 1971 for 6 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, etc.) and a much tinier proportion still of the adult population.[1] Elsie Elliot, Hilton Cheong-Leen, Denny Huang, Wong Pun-cheuk and Cecilia Yeung all retained their seats while Yeung won by a narrow margin. Henry Luk Hoi-on, a 52-year-old outspoken independent, editor of the pro-KMT Chinese-language newspaper Truth Daily,[2] was the only new candidate elected.[3] Luk had notably campaigned for free democratic elections for the Legislative Council.[1]
