The 4^th Chief Executive election has been completedin 2014 according to the amendment of its election law in 2012. The election was held on the basis of the expansion of the number of members of the Electoral College，the adjustment of sectors and the increase of the number of voters. In comparison with the last election in 2009，this election was different in terms of the content of the manifesto and the campaign，which responded to the changes in the context and demands within the community. The interaction of the candidate with the community，and the use of modern network technology were reinforced. However，the one-man candidacy remained and the level of competition among candidates into the Electoral College did not elevate significantly. It can therefore be said that the amendment to the election law is of limited effectiveness，and that further improvement is necessary. For the election of members of the Electoral College，the nomination threshold should further be lowered. For the Chief Executive election itself，the “one-man candidacy” should be changed by enhancing competition in order to reinforce the legitimacy of the elected. In the meantime，adjustments to policies to improve the livelihood of the population and to innovate the structure of governance are also necessary.
