The 1888 Sanitary Board Election was held on 11 June 1888 for the 2 unofficial seats in the Sanitary Board of Hong Kong. Sanitary Board was set up in 1883 to supervise and control the practical sanitation of the colony. As its work involved interference with the private affairs of residents it was unpopular with property owners and with the Chinese generally. It could however only make proposals. Their implementation was a matter for the Government. Of the 669 persons on the jury lists for the year, 187 voted.
