[1] WHO ARE
THE DELEGATES?
Delegates are
elected specifically for each CPC National Congress. They are elected from
every province, municipality and autonomous region in China, as well as from
electoral units within the government, from the People’s Liberation Army and
state-owned enterprises.
A total of 2,287 delegates are expected to attend this
year’s event, but the
number changes every five years. At the last National Congress in 2012, the
number of delegates was 2,270.
[2] HOW ARE
DELEGATES CHOSEN?
Candidates
must be nominated by a local Party branch and be checked for integrity and
Party discipline before they can stand for election.
For the 19th
CPC National Congress, elections began in November 2016 and were completed by
June this year.
An increasing
percentage of total delegates are grassroots Party members, rather than Party
officials.
One example
is Lida Pierbai, a small business owner from Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region
in northwest China. Lida started a small company selling handicrafts and
carpets after she lost her job. The 55-year-old now also runs a foundation for
children in need.
In June, the
CPC Congress of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region elected Lida as one of the
region’s 43 delegates to the 19th CPC National Congress, part of efforts to
better reflect and represent the views and opinions of the people.
