Notice of general election of village committee

Legal analysis: Party committees and people's governments of all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government, ministries and commissions of central and state organs, the General Political Department of the Military Commission, and people's organizations: the villagers' committee system is one of the most widely practiced forms of rural socialist democracy, and the general election of villagers' committees is an important link. In recent years, all localities have thoroughly implemented the spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the 15th CPC Central Committee and the Organic Law of Villagers' Committees of the People's Republic of China (hereinafter referred to as the Organic Law of Villagers' Committees), and carefully organized the general election of villagers' committees. The electoral system is improving day by day, the electoral activities are constantly standardized, farmers' awareness of democracy and legal system is obviously enhanced, and the democratic political construction in Socialism with Chinese characteristics has made great progress, which has contributed to maintaining the overall situation of reform, development and stability. In 2002, many rural areas in China have held or will hold a new round of village committee general election. Judging from the current situation, the election work is generally healthy and orderly, but some places also have problems such as insufficient ideological understanding, ineffective handling of affairs according to law, and insufficient democratic development. Some places even triggered mass incidents, affecting rural social stability.

Legal basis: Article 6 of the Notice of the General Office of the State Council on Further Improving the General Election of Villagers' Committees strictly abides by the responsibility of serving the people and earnestly strengthens the organization and leadership of the general election of villagers' committees.

The general election of villagers' committees is a basic work in rural areas, involving all aspects, and leadership and guidance must be strengthened. When carrying out the general election work, all localities should establish strong leading institutions for the election work at all levels, form a working system and operating mechanism under the leadership of Party committees, supervision by people's congresses, government implementation and close cooperation with relevant departments, and ensure the funds for the general election work according to regulations. It is necessary to combine the general election of village committees with strengthening the party's work in rural areas, comprehensively promote the construction of rural grassroots organizations, improve the overall quality of village-level cadres, and promote the development of various undertakings in rural areas through general elections. The local people's congresses at various levels and the standing committees of local people's congresses at or above the county level shall effectively ensure the implementation of the organic law of villagers' committees within their respective administrative areas and ensure that villagers exercise their voting rights according to law. We should seriously study the general problems in the election of villagers' committees, such as voter qualifications, candidate qualifications, recall procedures, etc. And constantly improve relevant laws and regulations. It is necessary to strengthen supervision and inspection and promptly stop and correct practices that do not conform to laws and regulations. County (city, district) and township (town) party committees and governments should earnestly strengthen leadership and establish and improve the responsibility system for party and government leaders. County (city) Party Committee Organization Department has an important responsibility to do a good job in the general election of village committees, and should strengthen guidance in accordance with the unified deployment of county (city) committees. Where elections have not yet been held, it is necessary to make careful arrangements, do a good job in pre-election publicity and education, backbone training, village-level financial clean-up audit and other preparatory work, and strengthen guidance on the election of villagers' committees in merged villages. Where the general election of village committees has been completed, it is necessary to carefully check and accept, urge the new and old teams to hand over their official seals and finances in time, and set up people's mediation, public security, public health and other committees in time to ensure that the new teams perform their duties according to law and consolidate the election results. We should pay attention to the study of new situations and new problems, and formulate and improve the specific rules for the township (town) people's government to guide the villagers' committees to carry out their work.
