Only upon the completion of the above-mentioned procedures, including the final approval or registration for the record by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress in accordance with law, shall the amendments take effect. The Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region shall submit a report to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress if there is a need to amend the methods or voting procedures, which shall be decided upon by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress in accordance with the provisions in Articles 45 and 68 of the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China and on the basis of the actual situation in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the principle of gradual and orderly progress.
