As villagers are the principal part of the village commune, the key point to realize their self-governance is whether villagers actually participate in village autonomy.

The following is to discuss the different reactions to election and analyze the factors influencing these two kinds of villagers' participation, so as to further study and find the practical way of promoting a significant and real participation in politics in rural society.
