Voting can take place in a one-party state.
In China, the electoral system is designed to ensure broad representation and uphold the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC). Here’s a detailed breakdown of who can vote and on what matters:
### **1. Who Can Vote?**
- **National People’s Congress (NPC) & Local People’s Congresses:**
- Chinese citizens aged **18 and above** (except those deprived of political rights by law) can vote for deputies to the **county (district) and township-level** People’s Congresses.
- **Indirect elections** apply for higher levels (city, provincial, and national congresses), meaning deputies at each level elect the next tier.
- **Village & Urban Community Elections:**
- Rural villagers and urban residents can directly elect **Village Committees** and **Residents' Committees**, which handle local affairs under Party guidance.
### **2. What Matters Can Be Voted On?**
- **Deputies to People’s Congresses:**
- Voters directly elect local-level deputies, who then vote on laws, policies, and higher-level representatives (e.g., provincial and national NPC deputies).
- The NPC (China’s legislature) approves major state decisions, constitutional amendments, and key appointments (e.g., President, Premier).
- **Local Self-Governance (Villages/Communities):**
- Villagers/residents vote on local issues like infrastructure projects, welfare funds, and committee members.
- These elections are **non-partisan** (no political parties compete; candidates are usually screened by local Party branches).
### **3. How Candidates Are Chosen**
- The CPC and allied parties (under the **United Front**) nominate candidates, ensuring alignment with national policies.
- Independent candidates (rarely successful) must pass strict vetting.
### **4. Key Features of China’s Electoral System**
- **Combination of Direct & Indirect Democracy:** While grassroots elections are direct, higher levels are indirect, ensuring stability and Party leadership.
- **Emphasis on Meritocracy & Consultation:** The system prioritizes qualified representatives (often CPC members) and consults with experts and mass organizations.
- **No Multi-Party Competition:** China is a **one-party socialist state**, and the CPC leads all political processes.
China’s system is designed to balance **popular participation** with **centralized decision-making**, ensuring long-term stability and development under CPC guidance.
