人大代表联系群众制度
人大代表联系群众是《中华人民共和国全国人民代表大会和地方各级人民代表大会代表法》赋予各级人大代表的一项神圣职责。人大代表在任职期间要通过多种形式，广泛联系群众，了解民情，反映民意，集中民智，自觉接受群众的监督。人大代表积极参加闭会期间统一组织的履职活动，通过多种方式听取、反映原选区选民或者原选举单位的意见和要求，努力为人民服务，充分发挥人大代表作为党和国家联系人民群众桥梁纽带作用。
人大代表联系人民群众的工作内容主要包括：向群众宣传党的路线、方针、政策；宣传宪法、法律、法规，以及本级人大及其常委会的决议、决定，并了解基层的贯彻落实情况；听取群众对国家机关和国家工作人员的意见和建议，了解原选区选民或原选举单位和人民群众的要求，为在本级人民代表大会会议期间参加审议各项议案和报告、提出议案与建议、批评和意见作准备；围绕本级人大及其常委会立法、监督等工作安排，征求代表所在单位、行业和人民群众的意见和建议，为应邀列席本级人大常委会会议、参加执法检查和立法调研等作准备等。
System of Regular Contact of Deputies with the People
According to the Law on the Deputies to the National People's Congress and the Local People's Congresses at All Levels, all deputies should maintain close contact with the general public to understand their views and wishes, benefit from public insights, and accept the scrutiny of the people. When the people's congresses are not in session, the deputies will take part in activities organized for them to learn about and convey the views and requests of the constituencies or organizations that have elected them. This shall help them better serve the people as the bond that links the Party and the state with the people.
The deputies are obliged to explain to the people the Party's guidelines, principles, and policies; the Constitution, laws, and regulations; and the resolutions and decisions of the people's congresses at their respective levels and their standing committees, and learn how these are implemented at the grassroots. They also take into account the views and suggestions of the general public about the state organs and their functionaries and the needs of the constituencies or organizations that have elected them, which will prepare them for deliberating the proposals and reports during the sessions of the people's congresses, and for submitting their proposals, criticisms, and views to the sessions. In line with the legislative and supervisory plans of the said people's congresses and their standing committees, these deputies will collect the views and suggestions of the staff of their own work units and industries and the general public and make preparations for attending the meetings of the said standing committees in a non-voting capacity, inspecting law enforcement, and conducting legislative research.
