The Latest: Polls close in key Hong Kong election

Voting has ended in Hong Kong with a massive turnout in an election seen as a barometer of public support for pro-democracy protests that have rocked the Chinese territory since June. After polls closed at 10:30 p.m., the Electoral Affairs Commission did not immediately provide the final turnout rate. The district council elections were carried out peacefully, with hardly any voters seen wearing protesters’ trademark black or face masks.
