建章立制与衔接稳定:回归以来澳门选举制度的发展

Establishment and Stable Connection:Macao Electoral System Development after Reunification

澳门回归以来,行政长官选举制度经历了从建章立制到配套修订的过程,而立法会选举制度则走过了从调整适应到修订完善的过程,总体上,特区选举制度的发展呈现出"衔接配套"与"稳定渐进"的特征。一方面,特区选举制度在时间及内容上与回归前相关法律制度之间形成承接关系,并与《澳门基本法》《中葡联合声明》,以及不同选举法律之间形成体系化配套;另一方面,特区选举制度的发展坚持以巩固民主成果、提高选举素质为主题,以渐进方式而非激进方式来推进。因此,选举法律制度的修订既避免了社会争拗与分裂,又有利于保持社会稳定与和谐。

Since Macao's return to the motherland,Chief Executive Electoral System has been changed from establishment to revision. Meanwhile Legislative Electoral System has been undergoing adaption and amendment. On the whole,Macao electoral system development shows the characteristics of connection and stable evolutionary trend. On the one hand,MSAR electoral system locks into its former version in the aspects of content and time. MSAR electoral laws are institutionalized together with Basic Law and The Sino-Portuguese Joint Declaration. On the other hand,MSAR electoral system gradually develops under the Guidance of principles of consolidating democracy and improving election quality. Amending Macao election system avoids social disintegration and keeps social stability.
