乡级民主是我国基层民主政治建设的重要组成部分。近些年来 ,随着村民自治制度的广泛建立 ,以民主选举、民主决策、民主管理和民主监督为核心内容的村级民主发展很快。扩大乡级民主是村级民主发展的必然方向和内在要求 ,为此各地也进行了一些有益的探索 ,并积累了一定的经验。 Township democracy is an important part of the construction of grassroots democracy in our country. In recent years, with the extensive establishment of the system of self-government by villagers, the development of village-level democracy centered on democratic election, democratic decision-making, democratic management and democratic supervision has been developing rapidly. The expansion of township democracy is the inevitable direction and the inherent requirement of village-level democratic development. To this end, some useful explorations have been carried out and some experiences accumulated.
