把农奴主掌权的旧西藏改造为人民当家作主的新西藏，是西藏社会发展的必然要求和西藏各族人民的根本愿望。在中国特色社会主义民主政治框架内，西藏已走上现代民主之路，人民的各项政治权利得到充分尊重和保障。
在西藏，藏族和门巴族、珞巴族、纳西族、回族、汉族等民族，共同享有平等参与国家事务管理的权利。作为国家根本政治制度的人民代表大会制度，是中国各族人民行使民主权利的主要途径。目前在全国人民代表大会中，西藏自治区有21名代表，其中12名为藏族公民，门巴族、珞巴族虽然人口极少，也分别各有1名代表。人民政协是中国社会主义民主政治的特有形式和独特优势，是中国人民实行协商民主的重要机构。目前在中国人民政治协商会议中，西藏自治区有委员29名，其中藏族和其他少数民族委员有26名。在西藏自治区34244名四级人大代表中，藏族和其他少数民族代表31901名，占93%以上，门巴族、珞巴族、纳西族、回族、壮族等均有自己的代表。西藏自治区十届人大常委会44名组成人员中有藏族和其他少数民族25名，14名常委会主任、副主任中有藏族和其他少数民族8名。基层民主建设不断加强。在西藏，目前95%以上的村建立了村民代表会议制度，选举产生村民自治组织。村务公开、民主管理实现全覆盖，90%以上的村设立公开栏，保障群众的知情权、参与权、决策权、监督权。192个城镇社区全部建立了社区居民代表大会、社区居委会等社区组织，社区居民自治有充分的组织保证。
The transformation of the old serf-owning Tibet into a new Tibet where the people are masters of their own fate was an essential precondition of Tibet's social development and also a fundamental aspiration of the people of all ethnic groups in Tibet. Within the framework of socialist democracy with Chinese characteristics, Tibet has embarked on a road of modern democracy, and all political rights of the people are fully respected and protected.
In Tibet there are Tibetans, Monbas, Lhobas, Naxi's, Huis, Han's and peoples of some other ethnic groups; they all enjoy the right to equally participate in the administration of state affairs. The system of people's congress, as a basic political system of China, serves as the main channel through which the people exercise their democratic rights. Now, the Tibet Autonomous Region has 21 deputies to the National People's Congress, of whom 12 are Tibetans, and even the Monba and Lhoba ethnic groups, despite their small populations, are each represented by one. The Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) is unique to China's socialist democracy; it is an important platform for the Chinese people to exercise deliberative democracy. At present, Tibet has 29 members on the CPPCC National Committee, including 26 from the Tibetan and other ethnic minorities. Among the 34,244 deputies to the local people's congresses at all four administrative levels in Tibet, 31,901 are from the Tibetan, Monba, Lhoba, Naxi, Hui, Zhuang and other ethnic minorities, accounting for more than 93 percent. The 44-member standing committee of the tenth Tibet regional people's congress has 25 representatives from Tibetan and other ethnic minorities, who occupy eight of the 14 positions of chairpersons or vice-chairpersons. Community-level democracy is also subject to constant enhancement. More than 95 percent of Tibet's villages have established the system of villagers' representative meetings and elected villagers' self-governance organizations. All villages have made their affairs public and exercise democratic management, and more than 90 percent of them have set up billboards to guarantee the rights of the general public to be informed about, to participate in, to make decisions on, and to scrutinize local government. All of Tibet's 192 urban communities have also set up community residents' congresses and community committees, providing a solid organizational mechanism for the self-governance of local urban residents.
