When electoral units get the information about quota, ratio and constitutions of delegates, they start to recommend (elect) delegate candidates from grass roots to higher-level organizations and the result will be sent back to the grass roots several times for further consideration. The election of delegate candidate reflects the Communist Party's democratic principle. Even current Central Committee leaders are not necessarily delegates for next Party congress until they are nominated and elected by relevant electoral units.
In the electoral period of the 15th CPC National Congress, over 95 percent grass-root Party organizations and 85 percent Party members participated in recommendation and election of delegates nationwide. Averagely 98 percent grass-root Party organizations and 93 percent Party members have participated in the recommendation and election for the 16th Party Congress.
