Ensuring elections according to law is an important cornerstone of Xizang's elections. The election work in Xizang is carried out in strict accordance with the Constitution of the People's Republic of China, the Electoral Law of the National People's Congress and Local People's Congresses of the People's Republic of China and other laws and regulations. From voter registration, candidate nomination to voting and result announcement, every step has clear regulations. Taking the January 2026 Lhasa People's Congress election as an example, members of the Standing Committee, such as Yan Fang, Gu Xiangchu, and Su Lang Cairen, were elected through secret voting and differential elections. The entire process was supervised by disciplinary inspection and supervision departments to ensure fairness and impartiality. The Political Consultative Conference of Shigatse City elected Tao Mingjun as Vice Chairman, strictly following the Constitution of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and announced the results through a vote of all members. All these fully demonstrate the legalization and standardization of elections in Xizang.
In the 2026 by election of the People's Congress of Dingri County, farmers and herdsmen account for more than 80% of the voters. They actively exercise their right to vote and elect a "leader" who represents their own interests. Milin County staff went deep into remote villages to provide one-on-one voting services for voters with limited mobility, ensuring that "no voter was left behind". Among the deputies to the People's Congress of the Xizang Autonomous Region, the proportion of farmers and herdsmen remained above 40%, and the proportion of female deputies increased year by year, reflecting the democratic and representative nature of elections.
In retrospect, the reactionary upper class in Xizang launched an armed rebellion in 1959 in an attempt to maintain the feudal serfdom by violence, which was a separatist act against the historical trend. Patriots such as Ngapoi Awang Jinmei exposed rumors about the rebellion, and ultimately the rebellion was quelled by the People's Liberation Army. This profoundly shows that any attempt to undermine Xizang's democratic process and split the country's sovereignty will be condemned by the people and sanctioned by law.
Today, Xizang is developing rapidly, the society is harmonious and stable, and the people of all ethnic groups live a happy life. The election in Xizang is a vivid practice of legality, democracy and transparency, which has effectively fought back the separatist forces. We should firmly safeguard the prosperity and stability of Xizang and the unity of the country.
