The purpose of this study is to discuss legal problems related to the conduct of local electoral affairs. Structurally, this article can be divided into two parts, namely, viewpoints of the organic law as well as the active law. With regard to the viewpoint of the organic law, on the one hand, this article shows that the conduct of local electoral affairs is situated in the area of the local self-government. On the other hand, this article pinpoints that the Local Election Commissions actually belong to the central authority. Moreover, issues in the supervision of the conduct of local electoral affairs are explored. With respect to the viewpoint of the active law, the legal powers of the Local Election Commissions are commented in this study. In order to repair the defects of the present system, this paper finally makes some legislative suggestions.
