In what way are the candidates for the people's congress nominated? |
|
Candidates for the national and local people's congresses are
nominated, as prospective deputies, according to the division of
electoral wards or units.
Political parties and public organizations may either jointly or
separately recommend candidates. A group, consisting of at least 10
voters, or deputies, may also put forward candidates. Those
submitting candidate recommendations must inform the electoral
committee or the presidium of the congress about their candidate's
suitability for election.
The number of candidates for deputation to the national and local
people's congresses must be greater than the number of deputies to
be elected.
The number of candidates to be directly elected by the voters must
be one third to 100 percent greater than the number of deputies to
be elected. The number of candidates to be elected by local
congresses to the people's congresses, at the higher level, must be
20 to 50 percent greater than the number of deputies to be elected.
Electoral candidates are nominated by voters from the various
electoral wards and by political parties and public organizations.
The electoral committee will collect and publish, 15 days prior to
the election date, the list of nominees, for repeated deliberation,
and discussion, by voter groups in the respective electoral wards.
The electoral committee or the presidium of the people's congress
shall brief the voters or existing deputies on the nominated
candidates.
Political parties, public organizations, voters and deputies, that
have nominated candidates, may brief voters on their nominees at
group meetings of voters or deputies up until election day.
