正当法律程序原则已由一个抽象的宪法原则演变为一个具有现实指导意义的行为规范。在选举程序中适用正当法律程序原则能够消除选举过程中的任意性,预防非法程序和错误程序的出现,使选举行为沿着最初设定的目标运行。正当法律程序原则要求选举程序具备参与性、公平性、竞争性、公开性、自治性以及裁判的中立性。而这些要求对于解决我国选举制度中的扩大直接选举范围、推行竞争性选举、城乡按人口比例选举人民代表大会代表以及选举诉讼等问题都具有重要的启示意义。
The principle of due process of law has evolved from an abstract constitutional principle into a code of conduct that is practical and guiding. The application of the principle of due process to the electoral process can eliminate the arbitrariness in the electoral process and prevent the emergence of illegal and erroneous procedures so that the electoral conduct runs along the originally set objectives. Due process of law requires that the election process be participatory, fair, competitive, open, autonomous and impartial. These requirements have important implications for solving the problems of expanding the scope for direct election in our country’s electoral system, promoting competitive election, selecting representatives of the people’s congress according to the proportion of population in urban and rural areas, and electoral litigation.
