The Macau Special Administrative Region delegation to the National People's Congress are the deputies from the Macau Special Administrative Region to the National People's Congress (NPC), the highest organ of state power of the People's Republic of China.

During the Portuguese Macau period, the Macau deputies to the NPC from the 4th to the 9th sessions were elected indirectly by the Guangdong Provincial People's Congress from among its Macau members. According to the Macau Basic Law, all Macau deputies to the NPC must be Chinese citizens residing in Macau. They are nominated by the election procedures and then formally elected. Their qualifications are then submitted to the Credentials Committee of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress for review, and the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress confirms their qualifications and publishes the list of deputies

History

The history of Macau's deputies to the National People's Congress began in the 4th NPC in 1975. At that time, there were four Macau deputies to the National People's Congress, all of whom participated as deputies of Guangdong Province to the National People's Congress. The five Macau deputies to the 9th National People's Congress elected in 1998 were all elected by the Guangdong Provincial People's Congress. After the establishment of the Macau Special Administrative Region, these five deputies became the Macau SAR deputies to the 9th NPC. After the handover of Macau, the Macau Special Administrative Region elected another seven deputies to the 9th National People's Congress in 2000 in accordance with the election method of that year. Only in early 2000 did Macau's deputies to the National People's Congress cease to be deputies of Guangdong Province and participate in the National People's Congress as a delegation of the Macau Special Administrative Region. ^[1]

In the 9th and 10th National People's Congress, deputies from Macau had to go through a preliminary election before they could officially participate in the election. However, this preliminary election system was abolished by the fifth session of the 10th National People's Congress on 16 March 2007. ^[1]
