Abstract Using the data from 7 waves of tracking survey which has lasted for 20 years， we systematically analyze farmers’ perception of election according to a five-dimensional framework which consists of perception of election， voting preference， functional evaluation， awareness of rules， and value support. We discover that farmers have a strong awareness of their rights to election and a full perception of the election procedures which is family-oriented. They have a tendency to vote for “a virtuous person.” They evaluate positively on the function of election， and show a significant increase in the awareness of election rules. Value support， on the other hand， shows a decreasing structure with the increase in rank， but the overall support is gradually increasing. In terms of the topology of villagers’ election culture， the proportion of respondents with a detached election culture has declined significantly， and its once-dominant position has given way to respondents with a passive election culture. The respondents with the most civic-natured electoral culture are slowly growing up to 20%. These findings can help to clearly understand the real situation and challenges of the grassroots elections and governance， deepen and expand the systematic study of elections， political culture， and grassroots governance， and develop a theory of election culture based on China’s national conditions.
