抗日战争时期,陕甘宁边区遵循直接、普遍、平等、自由、竞争等原则,在农村实行了真正意义上的普遍选举。同时,召开了以村民大会为基础的乡以上的各级参议会,以实行民众参政议政,监督政府。由此逐渐形成了实行民主选举、民主监督、民主决策和民主管理的现代农村村民自治的雏形。 During the period of the Anti-Japanese War, the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region followed the principles of directness, universality, equality, freedom and competition and practiced the true universal election in rural areas. In the meantime, a council of people’s congresses at all levels above the township level based on the villagers’ assembly was held to exercise public participation in politics and supervise the government. From then on, a prototype of modern rural villagers’ self-government in the form of democratic election, democratic supervision, democratic decision-making and democratic management was gradually formed.
