The National Security Department of the Hong Kong Police Force has placed bounties on 19 activists, including Elmer Yuan Gongyi and Chin Po-fun.
The police said the wanted persons are accused of contravening the national security law by establishing, running and engaging in a so-called "Hong Kong Parliament."
The latest update to the police's website on national security announced bounties on 19 individuals including Elmer Yuan Gongyi, Victor Ho, Fok Ka-chi and Choi Ming-da.
The four were earlier put on a wanted list with a 1 million-dollar bounty each.
They along with five other suspects were involved in the establishment of a so-called "Hong Kong Parliament" abroad and organised illegal elections.
The 15 people newly added to the NSL police's list include Chin Po-fun and Ha Hoi-chun, with a bounty of 200,000 dollars placed on each.
Authorities said 10 of them participated in elections in the so-called Hong Kong Parliament, before they were sworn in as lawmakers in the organisation.
The police noted the group's goals included "self-determination" for Hong Kong, promulgating the so-called "Hong Kong Constitution", and overthrowing the system set in place by the Constitution of the People's Republic of China.
NSL police have applied to the court for arrest warrants for the 19 individuals after suspecting them of committing the offence of subversion.
Sources said six out of ten suspects were involved in the earlier Hong Kong Parliament election in May this year and were part of the anti-China "Hong Kong Democratic Independence Union" headquartered in Taiwan.
Three members of the group were previously charged with the offence of "conspiracy to secession".
The police urged the 19 wanted persons to return to the city and turn themselves in, adding that the case is still under investigation.
Authorities reminded residents that any act of assistance, instigation or participation pertaining to the Hong Kong Parliament would be considered a national security offence.
