Can a person who has received criminal punishment be elected as a deputy to the National People's Congress?

People who have been subjected to criminal punishment have the right to vote and stand for election, but in fact they have not been deprived of their political rights. They do not meet the requirements of deputies to the National People's Congress and cannot be elected as candidates for deputies to the National People's Congress.

People deprived of political rights according to law have no right to vote and stand for election.

The requirements of a NPC deputy are: 1) Good political quality. Loyal to the motherland, loyal to the people, support China * * *, support the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system, and conscientiously implement the party's line, principles and policies. (2) Good moral quality. Strictly abide by the Constitution and laws, be exemplary in observing social morality, professional ethics and family virtues, be honest and self-disciplined, be fair and upright, be honest and trustworthy, and have a good social image. (3) Strong performance of functions. Have a certain level of education, good health, strong will to perform their duties, and be able to perform the duties of deputies to the National People's Congress. (4) Good exemplary role. I love my job and am diligent and conscientious. I can play an exemplary role in my study, work and social life, and have a certain influence and demonstration role in the local area. (5) The mass base is good. Close contact with the masses, enthusiastic service to the masses, good at listening and truthfully reflecting the wishes of the masses, and widely recognized by the masses. I don't have any problems listed in the negative list.

From the above provisions, it can be seen that people who have been criminally punished can participate in the election as long as they are not deprived of their political rights, but in practice, candidates for deputies to the National People's Congress cannot be criminally punished, so people who have been criminally punished have the right to stand for election, but they will not be elected.
