Elections in the People's Republic of China occur under a one-party authoritarian political system controlled by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).[1][2] Direct elections, except in the special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau, occur only at the local level people's congresses and village committees, with all candidate nominations preapproved by the CCP.[1][3] By law, all elections at all levels must adhere to the leadership of the CCP.[4]
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, elections have been highly constrained by the CCP's monopoly on power, limitations on free speech, and party control over nominations.[5][6][7] Elections are not pluralistic as no opposition is allowed.[8][9] Rory Truex, a researcher of Chinese politics at Princeton University, states that "the CCP tightly controls the nomination and election processes at every level in the people's congress system...the tiered, indirect electoral mechanism in the People's Congress system ensures that deputies at the highest levels face no semblance of electoral accountability to the Chinese citizenry."[9]
Local people's congresses are directly elected under the control of the CCP. All higher levels of people's congresses up to the National People's Congress (NPC), the highest organ of state power, are indirectly elected by the people's congress of the level immediately below.[9][10] Candidate nominations at all levels are controlled by the CCP, and CCP's supreme position is enshrined in the country's constitution.[8]
