2. Family applicants applying under the “Priority Scheme for Families with Elderly Members”	2. Other nuclear family applicants
3. Other family applicants	3. Non-nuclear family applicants
4. One-person applicants living in PRH estates affected by the HA’s clearance programmes	4. One-person applicants
5. One-person applicants

Then assign order to individual applicant within each category according to the ballot result.
- Based on the order of the ballot result, the computer will generate the order of all respective application numbers within each category; for application numbers with same last two digits, the order will be assigned randomly by the computer.
- There are a total of 100 ballot numbers (00-99), which represent the last two digits of the application number. Example: If HA receives more than 300 000 applications, each ballot number represents more than 3 000 application numbers.
