DHAKA: Hong Kong’s pro-democracy protesters are set to hold a street poll on Sunday and Monday on the next steps for a mass movement that has paralyzed parts of the semi-autonomous Chinese city.

The vote, which will take place from 7:00pm to 11:00pm local time on Sunday and again on Monday night at the three protest camps across the financial hub, will ask demonstrators how to respond to conciliatory measures offered by the government in a bid to end the sit-ins that have blocked major junctions for almost a month.

The vote, which will take place by mobile phone, will allow protesters to ‘express their views’, as well as to ‘put pressure on the government’, the Occupy Central group said, reports The Straits Times.

The street poll comes after the government made tentative concessions to the protesters during talks on Tuesday, saying they would file a report to Beijing on recent events and suggesting that both sides set up a committee to discuss further political reform beyond 2017.
