China sets 2,360 delegates for 2027 party congress.

The 2,360 delegates are for the Chinese Communist Party’s 21st national congress, planned for Beijing in the second half of 2027. Selection has already begun and is set to continue through the end of June. The quota is 60 higher than at the previous congress, while the same 38 electoral units will choose them. Xinhua reports the process starts with nominations from grassroots Party organizations, then moves through several rounds of vetting before elections at Party congresses or representative meetings. Candidate numbers must exceed available seats by more than 15 percent. The congress is still ahead, but its delegate list is taking shape now.
