2012 Wukan municipal election

The Wukan municipal election was held in Wukan, People's Republic of China on 3 March 2012 following an uprising against the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) government over alleged land grabs in which protesters forced out the incumbent government; the provincial government then acceded to an election for a committee to govern Wukan after protesters sought an end to what they said was decades of CCP corruption. The election would choose a seven-member village committee, including a village chief and his two deputies, who would control local finances and the sale and apportioning of collectively owned village land.

It was one of the first contested elections held in the Communist-controlled territory in China since the 1948 nationwide elections in the Republican era.
