Differences between elections and appointments

Elect (选举): Candidates are nominated by the Presidium or by the delegates. When voting to elect, delegates are allowed to vote for or against the candidate, or to abstain. If a delegate votes against the candidate, they can write in another person as a replacement, but if they abstain, this right is unavailable.
Appoint (决定任命): Candidates are nominated by an appointed person, such as President, who has just elected by the delegates. When voting to appoint, as with elections, delegates are allowed to vote for or against the candidate, or to abstain, but by contrast, they can't write in another person after voting against or abstaining.

List of low approval rates

, there have been no votes that were rejected by the National People's Congress, but some events have received comparatively low approving rates. This list include reported events which received below 70%.


Standing Committee votes

Despite the historical lack of resolution disapproval, there was one event in April 1999 where a bill was rejected by the National People's Congress Standing Committee. The bill was the Amendment Bill to the Highway Law which proposed to replace highway tolls with a fuel tax. The bill failed to be approved by a majority of members present, falling shy by just one vote. The amendment bill would eventually be passed later that year in October.
