Features: Rural governance is a very important issue in China's modernization process, concerning the lives and destinies of 900 million farmers, and is closely linked to the country's stability and development. Since the 1980s, the Center for Rural Issues Research at Central China Normal University has paid close attention to rural governance and made it one of the center's main research areas. In the 1990s, our research focus was primarily on the village. Starting in 1997, with the support of Central China Normal University Press, we published the "Village Governance Series," consisting of 10 books. Since the late 1990s, our research field has further expanded, attempting to study rural governance from a broader perspective and deeper level. In the new century, relevant achievements have been published one after another. For this reason, we have prepared the "Rural Governance Series" to integrate these achievements and present them to society. This series continues the empirical research style of the "Village Governance Series," but whether in content or methodology, it is more comprehensive. The book is divided into ten chapters, respectively explaining the legal origins of village committee elections, the legal nature and institutional characteristics of village committee elections, the principle of secret voting in village committee elections, and the village significance of the right to vote, among other topics.
