What is the system for people’s congress representatives to contact the masses?

The system of the National People's Congress deputies contacting the masses means that the people reflect their opinions, suggestions and demands to the National Congress deputies, form the National People's Congress representatives' bills, upload them to the state power organs, and implement democratic supervision through the system of the National People's Congress deputies contacting the masses.

According to the "Implementation Opinions on Improving the System of People's Congress Deputies Contacting the People", the working platform for People's Congress deputies to contact the people should be constructed based on the actual situation and work needs based on the principles of diligence, thrift and local conditions. Arrangements can be made in conjunction with other grassroots activity venues.

Deputies to the people's congresses at the county and township levels follow the principle of being close to the place and participate in activities carried out by the deputies' contact with the people work platform to contact voters and the people in the original constituency. In accordance with the arrangements of the Standing Committee of the People's Congress at the higher level, the Standing Committee of the People's Congress at the county level coordinates the work and the deputies of the People's Congress at the higher level who live within the administrative region carry out activities to connect with the people through the deputies' work platform for contacting the people.
