从衡阳贿选案看地方人大选举制度的改革与完善

Reform and Improve the Election System of the Local People's Congress from the Case of Practicing Bribery at an Election in Hengyang

地方人大贿选的本质是金钱政治、权钱交易,它给国家和社会造成的危害是严重的。衡阳贿选案是地方人大贿选中较为典型的案例,深刻地暴露出我国地方人大选举制度的设计缺陷,如候选人提名制度不合理、缺乏相应的竞选机制、监督机制和处罚机制不完善等。推进地方人大制度的健全和完善,要建立规范的代表候选人提名制度,扩大选民和代表联合提名候选人的比例;在选举中切实落实差额选举制度,引入正当竞选机制;健全监督机制,加大处罚力度。

The essence of practicing bribery at an election is money politics, that is, a trade between power and money, which has a severe impact on our society and country. The case of practicing bribery at an election in Hengyang is a typical case in China. It exposes the defects in the election system of the local People’s Congress, including unreasonable nomination system, lack of corresponding running mechanism and imperfect supervision and punishment mechanism. Therefore, it’s necessary to establish the standard of candidate nomination system, increase the percentage of joint nomination between voters and deputies, put into practice the competitive election, introduce proper competition mechanism, perfect supervision mechanism, and in-crease punishment mechanism.
