香港當局公布去年立法會選舉支出11.3億港元（約1.4427億美元），比2021年選舉增加近35%。憲法及內地事務局在周四回應議員查詢時透露此數據，歸因於科技、員工薪酬及場地租金等成本上升。選舉於去年12月7日舉行，選出90名議員。
憲法及內地事務局在周四公布的2025-26財政年度選舉事務處修訂預算顯示，立法會選舉總支出達11.3億港元，包括籌備工作及選民登記活動。
此金額比2021年選舉的8.41億港元增加34.6%，主要由資訊科技支援、宣傳活動、場地租金及員工薪酬等推動。當局指出，這些成本顯著上升。
選舉於2025年12月7日進行，動員約3.4萬名公務員協助。營運開支佔6.8億港元，用於投票及計票站運作、場地租金及臨時辦公室租賃；人事開支3億港元；宣傳開支1.49億港元。
