Nearly 3,000 deputies to the 12th National People's Congress will be elected by January 2013 with more seats given to workers and farmers, according to a draft decision by China's top legislature.

The draft was submitted to the annual legislative session on Thursday.

Explaining the draft decision, Li Jianguo, vice-chairman of the 11th NPC Standing Committee, said that a "broad representation among deputies is not only the essential requirement of the system of people's congresses, but also the embodiment of socialist democracy".

Of the number of deputies to the 12th NPC, the proportion at the primary level will increase, especially from among frontline workers, farmers and technicians, Li said.

There also will be a significant increase in the number of deputies from among migrant workers and a drop in the number of deputies who are Communist Party or government officials.

The 11th NPC will end its term in March 2013 and new NPC deputies must be elected by that time.

The draft decision also stipulates that the proportion of women deputies shall be greater than in the last NPC, but Li said "the greatest feature of the election" was that the congress reflected the same population ratio between urban and rural areas.

Success in the election will be of extreme importance to developing socialist and democratic politics, ensuring that the people are the masters of the country and improving the strength of the State, Li said.

Han Dayuan, dean of the law school at Renmin University of China, said that a broad representation of lawmakers from various backgrounds would help balance the views of different groups and reach consensus. It will make decision-making more democratic.

In January 2008, Hu Xiaoyan, working in Foshan city in Guangdong province, became the country's first migrant worker to be elected a national lawmaker.

"The most important reason for my being elected is so that migrant workers will be given much greater attention," Hu said.

Since 2008, Hu has submitted nearly 20 proposals to the top legislature. All are related to safeguarding the interests of migrant workers, such as providing greater access to education for their children and ensuring workers get paid on time.

There are three migrant workers who are deputies in the 11th NPC, but the number of migrant workers in the country has expanded rapidly in recent years. At around 250 million, they are a major force in China's economic development.
