　　新华网北京12月5日电 (记者崔静、程卓)民政部部长李立国5日在国务院新闻办举行的新闻发布会上表示，到2012年底，我国村委会直接选举的比例已经超过98%，一些没有纳入直接选举的村委会也在创造条件推进直接选举。

　　李立国说，依照村委会组织法和改革开放以来村民自治发展的制度性安排，村委会选举工作，尤其是直接选举工作不断发展，取得了良好的效果。在村委会选举中，确实发生过个别贿选或不正当选举的问题，也包括基层政府对选举不当干预的问题，这种情况是个别现象，不会影响到村委会选举整体上推进基层民主建设和自治功能增强的效果。

　　他表示，针对存在的这些问题，民政部门已会同有关部门进行调查研究，加强指导规范，适时制定了一些选举规程和选举操作的规范性办法，促进村委会的民主选举工作更加合法、公开，更加体现村民意志。
