Election of the Deputies to the People's Congresses
All citizens of the PRC who have reached the age of 18, regardless of ethnicity, race, gender, occupation, family background, religious belief, level of education, property status, or length of residence, shall have the right to vote and stand for election. Persons deprived of political rights in accordance with the law shall be an exception. Each voter shall have only one right to vote in an election.
The deputies to the NPC and the local people's congresses should represent all walks of life, with an appropriate number from specific communities, particularly workers, farmers, and intellectuals, and with an appropriate number of women whose ratio will be gradually increased.
The NPC is composed of deputies elected from the provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the central government, the special administrative regions, and the armed forces. The number of NPC deputies generally does not exceed 3,000, and this number will be divided by the Standing Committee among the provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the central government based on their respective populations to ensure that every deputy represents the same number of citizens in both urban and rural areas and that different regions, ethnic groups, and sectors all have an appropriate representation in the NPC. Each of the ethnic groups with a very small population will have at least one deputy, and in places where ethnic minorities live together, each of the ethnic groups will have their deputies to the local people's congresses.
Candidates for deputies to the NPC and the local people's congresses are nominated by different constituencies or organizations that will elect the deputies, and the elections are conducted under scrutiny in accordance with legal procedures. No organization or individual is allowed to interfere by any means with the electors or the deputies as they exercise their rights to vote.
