Electing representative of the people to vote and choosing the country's public servants, are the "People's sovereignty", the important part. According to the current set of electoral rules and the non-standardized operations of election, it is difficult for mobile population to exercise their right to vote and be elected. The realization of the electoral system faces strong contradictions. Not only is it to bring about a new system of operation, but also it directly influences the outcome of the election and quality. This paper's discussion ranges from the mobile population plight of the election and its multi-faceted analysis of the impact and challenges to the electoral system to probing into the causes of these problems. Living through the most crucial position in the electoral system of representation theory analysis and clarifying our relationship with the voters on behalf of the representative system are the basis to solve the problems.This paper is divided into four parts.The election is the first part of the floating population status and problems. Perspective deputies elected to the scope of the study. The concept can be defined as the mobile population————not to change their household registration in the place of residence conditions, The resident of the township where, the town, these are outside the scope of refuge in the residence of the population. China's floating population is about more than 140 million, accounting for 10% of the country's total population. Moreover, the annual growth rate will average five million. However, in the framework of the existing system, the overwhelming majority of the floating population has not exercised their right to vote. Or by proxy through irregular means to exercise their right to vote led to a mere figurehead; few were elected as deputies to people's congresses. Conferred by the Constitution to be elected also exist in name only. Basic mobile population faced multiple obstacles to the realization of political rights, the phenomenon of the rights as "empty shell" is increasing.The second part is about the floating population in the electoral plight of the conflict with our existing electoral system. This election will not only make the plight of the mobile population groups as a political edge, but also make China's system of elections more powerful.First, the rational design of the electoral system by the rules specific shocks. And compliance with the registry mainly to "registered voters" registered on the electoral system for a reasonable model is being challenged; Boundaries no longer meet the practical needs of the standard; ration of rural and urban representative is 4:1 and the inequality is increasing constantly. Representation of the distribution of the mobile population there are gaps in the law; the candidates also have a mechanism for the practical feasibility of impact and influence. Second, in contradiction with the basic principles of the electoral system, the principle of universality of the right to vote is not practiced. Finally, it is a direct impact on the functioning of the electoral system and the quality of the results. On the surface, because of the high rates and "double half" of the election contain high moisture so that the democratic and fair election is being challenged. Legislative elections are the final departure from the basic guiding ideas, in violation of electoral legislation in the first place, achieving the sovereignty of the people is greatly reduced.The third component is a cause analysis. Difficulties caused by the floating population elections, conflicts led by the electoral system are discussed. Elections are always linked to the interests of the floating population which also includes the interests of three parties association. But in our current system and the election framework, the mechanisms associated with these interests are basically in a state of loss; meanwhile the existing rules are designed to solve this group in the elections to tackle conflict of interest. This is the fundamental reason for the problem.In addition, the imperfections of the electoral law and non-supervisory mechanism to standardize the relief operation can not afford to ignore the election since it is an important factor. Narrow electoral votes and election monitoring and the floating population in the litigation path make it very difficult to safeguard their rights; the illegal operations and the election also intensify the difficulty of the exercise of electoral rights of the floating population.The fourth part concerns with solving the problem with rrepresentation theory. Representation theory is the relationship between constituents and representatives in all the elections and the election theory; it is always at the core position. According to the Western representation theory mandatory commission, there are three main theories. Independent representative holds the state organs. Advocate mandatory commissioned on behalf of voters believes the establishment of a strict "privacy commission", is the only representative of a particular constituency or represent the interests and will of the electorate; Members of the independent representative denies voters of the trustees, and the boards of trustees of all the people of the entire country. State authorities say that there is no commission or a relationship between the two. These three theories are the products of certain historical conditions, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.Because of our vague relationship with the voters, NPC formed in the concrete practice a number of different concepts and practices. Although the commission said it is mandatory to follow our country based on the relevant legislation, obviously, it is not in conformity with the current practice of representation. To speed up the development of market economy and democracy, there should be an appropriate adjustment in the people's relationship with the electorate, which will lead to the establishment of an independent representation for a new relationship. And the representation theory and the newly defined status based on the Chinese mobile population can provide a new election system to resolve problems. For example, the delineation of constituencies, on behalf of independent voters holds that the boundary between the local protectionism and prevention of the small group may be implemented. Applying"the representative of the collective will of all the voters in all constituencies and interests of the folks", the new approach, can be set so that the representation of the distribution system will be more reasonable, so that the election and the interests of next electoral system and its operation will be established with the genuine interest.Establishing an independent system as required by the representatives of the voters needs the electoral system to improve the provision of more fundamental measures. On this basis, the number of mobile population in the elections will be able to thoroughly solve the problem. Thus the conflicts arising from the operation of the election system can be resolved. The search for a solution within the framework of the system can interact with the improvement of the electoral system, which will helpful to solve new problems in the future economic development and social change.
