Common sense about democratic elections, four ways of democratic elections

Democratic Election Democratic election refers to the direct election of the chairman, deputy director, and members of the villagers' committee by the villagers in accordance with the provisions of the Organic Law of the Villagers' Committee, and no organization or individual may designate or appoint members of the villagers' committee. Democratic elections are a core part of the construction of democratic politics at the grassroots level in rural areas and a prerequisite for realizing villagers' autonomy. The practice of democratic elections is conducive to electing voters who abide by discipline and law, handle affairs fairly, perform official duties honestly, have a certain level of education, and are enthusiastic about serving the villagers to the leading bodies of the villagers' committees, thus contributing to the building of the two civilizations in the villages.

To carry out democratic elections, it is necessary to grasp the following four links: First, the village party branch shall preside over the election and establishment of a villager election committee, whose members shall be elected by the villagers' meeting or each villager group, and the villagers' election committee shall preside over the general election of the village; The second is to do a good job of voter registration in accordance with the law, without omission or duplication; third, the villagers directly nominate the candidates; Fourth, it is necessary to meticulously organize voting and elections, and implement the principles of differential votes, secret ballots, secret writing and open counting of votes, and announcing the election results on the spot, so as to ensure that voters can independently exercise their electoral rights without any interference.

Legal Analysis: Direct Elections: Direct Voting Elections by All People, Indirect Elections:

Election by vote of popular representatives, equal election: the number of candidates is the same as the number of candidates and the number of candidates is the same, and the number of candidates is greater than the number of candidates to be elected.

The election of the ruler of public power by the people's vote is the ladder to enter a modern civilized society, a necessary condition for ensuring that the people become the "source of power" and realizing sovereignty in the people, the basis for the realization of power restraint and supervision, and an important mechanism for cultivating public servants of the people. The normative form of democratic elections is differential elections, allowing voters to "shop around"; Its operating platform is a fair competition between candidates, allowing voters to choose the best; An important guarantee of democratic elections is to maintain the authority of the elected results; Its organizational guarantee is to strengthen the functions of the people's congresses. Legal basis:

Article 3 of the Election Law Deputies to the National People's Congress and deputies to the people's congresses of provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the Central Government, cities divided into districts and autonomous prefectures shall be elected by the people's congresses at the next lower level. Deputies to the people's congresses of cities not divided into districts, municipal districts, counties, autonomous counties, townships, ethnic townships, and towns shall be directly elected by the voters.

The four types of democratic elections are: direct elections, indirect elections, equal elections and differential elections.

Democratic election refers to the act of choosing a superior leader among candidates at the same level. Democratic elections are "bottom-up" and "fair voting" in nature. Both of these qualities must be met in order to be considered "democratic".

Democratic elections are mainly based on the socio-economic system, material living conditions, and the educational level of the electorate.

Citizens of the People's Republic of China who have reached the age of 18 have the right to vote and to stand for election, regardless of ethnicity, race, sex, occupation, family background, religious belief, educational level, property status or period of residence. Persons deprived of their political rights under the law do not have the right to vote and to stand for election.

Article 5 Each voter shall have only one vote in one election.
