Our archive covers the national institutions of the People’s Republic of China. It does not include Republic of China elections or separate Hong Kong or Macao contests. National NPC totals retain the institution’s own delegations, including special administrative region delegations where applicable and its mainland-selected Taiwan delegation; this is not a record of elections conducted by Taiwan’s electorate.
The date is an archive cycle year, generally the year the new NPC first convened. Deputy selection takes place across different bodies and can start in the preceding year; 1 January is a storage anchor, not an election day. Membership totals follow the cited historical series through 2008 and the initial validated deputy lists for 2013–2023. They are not attendance totals, maximum quotas or the current membership after later vacancies and replacements.
Six allied-party counts are supported by original 2023 reports: RCCK 41, Democratic League 56, CAPD 54, Peasants’ and Workers’ 60, Jiusan 56 and TDSGL 14. The Peasants’ and Workers’ source is a contemporary republication of the party’s membership announcement. Communist Party, CNDCA and Zhi Gong counts are unknown and shown as dashes; their deputies are included in the red CCP-containing remainder, which also includes unaffiliated deputies. Later party membership lists are not substituted for initial composition: Jiusan later lists 61 and TDSGL later 13. Party membership can change or overlap; the diagram records these reported categories and does not claim a verified individual-by-individual party census. The red CCP-containing remainder is not an independent party, an opposition bloc or a shared ideology. A dash means a count is unknown, not zero. No popular vote shares are inferred. Colours distinguish categories visually; they do not signify competing electoral lists.
Deputy selection for this cycle spanned late 2022 and early 2023; the archive indexes the resulting NPC by 2023. The mixed CCP-containing remainder is coloured red; it is not a verified count of CCP members alone.
