The Kowloon East geographical constituency is one of the five geographical constituencies in the Legislative Council of Hong Kong. It currently elects five members of the Legislative Council using the Hare quota of party-list proportional representation. The constituency corresponds to the today's districts of Wong Tai Sin and Kwun Tong.

History

The constituency was formed for the 1998 legislative election, replacing a number of single-member constituencies used until 1995. These were Kowloon East and Kowloon South-east (previously the two-member Kowloon East), Kowloon North-east, Kowloon Central and parts of Kowloon South (previously the two-member Kowloon Central). From 1985 to 1991 the seats were elected by electoral colleges composed of the members of the district boards and Urban Council.
