Villagers' committees are mass autonomous organizations elected by villagers in administrative villages under the jurisdiction of Chinese mainland townships (towns). Villagers' committees are grass-roots mass self-governing organizations for villagers' self-management, self-education and self-service. A villagers' committee consists of a chairman, vice-chairmen and three to seven members. Leadership depends on democratic elections held every five years. Before the expiration of the term of office, no organization or individual may designate, appoint or replace the members of the villagers' committee. Illiterates, gamblers and criminals are not allowed to be elected, and villagers are not allowed to be insulted and people's interests are violated. Once found, they can report directly to the local government. 1980, in order to get out of the predicament of rural governance at that time, villagers in Hezhai Village, Yizhou City, Guangxi Province took the lead in setting up grass-roots mass autonomous organizations, called "village committees". The newly established village committee quickly improved the social order in the village. The system of mass autonomy is also a basic political system in China.
