China is a large agricultural nation, Farmers accounts for the majority of the population. Since thereform and opening,the number of China's agricultural registered permanent residence not much change,But from professional point of view,labor proportion that really engaged in agricultural production aregoing down. The data from China statistical yearbook, In1978, the agricultural population for790million,accounts for the population82%,2009years of agricultural population for710million, accounts for thepopulation53%. Along with the development of social economy, the large number of rural surplus labortransfer to large and medium cities of spontaneous, especially to the coastal town that the economy moredeveloped, formed the extensive attention at home and abroad, unique to China, the tide of migrant workersphenomenon. Since "peasant workers" appeared, the debate to its class, has been unable to agree, butwhether the farmers or industry located in the workers, it cannot be denied that the contribution toEconomic development. The Economists lewis said:"labor to flow from rural to urban, is itself animportant sign for economic development." A report data from Economic research institute of the Chineseacademy of population shows, the opening and reform policy for nearly thirty years, labor flowcontribution to GDP of21%, not registered city migrant workers Accounted for57.6%of the secondindustry,52.6%of the catering industry, business,68.2%of the manufacturing industry, and construction,79.8%,The vast rural cost cheap labor, make China in just ten years built up on human industry the mostprosperous manufacturing empire.At the same time, we also see, in the life of the city, peasant workers' economic, political, and socialrights and interests are not effectively guarantee, produce a series of social problems. Effectivemaintenance of peasant workers' rights and interests, the most basic way is to improve its political statusand clear political participation channels, to better reflect this class's interests and needs. But in practice,migrant workers' political participation is extremely low, its most basic political rights, and also is mosteffect reflect the demands and interest of own class-the right to vote, all have different degree of restraint inthe original assess or now live. The first is that the institutional level, China's urban and rural socialstructure and electoral system that based on the household registration systems, followed is the economic level, the income of the migrant workers is generally low, and cannot afford the high cost and risk, the lastis Chinese traditional culture level, The traditional Chinese culture of subjects and discrimination againstmigrant workers, caused the migrant workers disregard for urban management.So security the migrantworkers to vote, following aspects should to consider: First, reform the management system of thehousehold register gradually, at present for the bearing capacity of the city is limited, in urban and ruralareas, keep the household registration system,at the same time, strip additional functions of this systemstep by step. Second, improve the electoral system design, from the division of the constituency, confirmrepresentatives, voter registration and candidate nomination and introduce and so on, perfect each link.Third, strengthening the government responsibility, promote the organization construction of thepeasant-workers, eliminate all sorts legal and policy which discriminate peasant workers', and createfavorable political participation conditions for the migrant workers, on all hands to guarantee the exerciseof rights to vote.
