In addition, liaison offices for delegates have been set up in 780 counties and districts, and 174 cities and prefectures of 27 provincial-level regions, according to a report from Xinhua News Agency.
In Zhejiang, local Party congresses began to pilot the motion system in June, allowing any group of more than 10 delegates to collectively submit their motions.
Any motion raised by a delegation should get the approval of at least half of the delegation members before it is submitted.
The related Party authorities dealing with the motion have to reply to the delegates in written form.
They need to repeat the process within one month if the delegates are not satisfied with the answer or face disciplinary action.
Some delegates to the congress told China Daily on Monday they are pleased that the Party has introduced such a systematic way to raise suggestions regarding the Party's policies and decisions.
"Delegates discuss at every level of congress. But these vocal discussions do not make any difference without a motion-based system," said Wu Tianlai, a delegate from the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.
Yan Guizhen, a middle school teacher and a delegate from Gansu province, said the motion system is a step forward, showing that the Party is attaching even more importance to listening to its members' views.
"Moreover, my surveys over the years on problems in education would be more meaningful. I'm excited that we can more effectively reflect public opinion in the Party's decision-making process," Yan said.
