Average Electoral Project Coordinator Salary in China for 2026
An electoral project coordinator in China earns about 457,300 CNY a year. That's 30% above the national average of 351,900 CNY.
Pay ranges widely from country to country and from role to role. The lowest reported salaries in China sit around 214,000 CNY a year, while the very top stretches to 722,100 CNY. Everything on this page is in Chinese yuan (CNY, symbol ¥), which lets you compare numbers like-for-like without worrying about exchange rates.
The numbers here are pulled together from official government wage data, large independent salary surveys, and aggregated worker-reported pay. Most reported salaries include the benefits that are common in China, such as housing or transport allowances, which is worth keeping in mind if you're comparing against a country where those are usually paid on top.
How much does an electoral project coordinator make in China?
A typical electoral project coordinator working in China brings home around 38,108 CNY a month before tax. Entry-level pay starts near 214,000 CNY, and the top of the ladder reaches roughly 722,100 CNY for the most experienced and specialised people in the role.
The wide gap between low end and top end reflects how much pay can vary inside the same job title. A junior electoral project coordinator working at a small local employer earns very different money from a senior at a multinational. Skills, employer, city and years in the seat all push the number around.
How electoral project coordinator pay ranges in China
A good way to think about salary in China is to look at the distribution rather than the headline average. Half of all electoral project coordinators in China earn less than 485,300 CNY a year, and the other half earn more. That middle number is the median, and it is usually more useful than the average for answering "is my pay normal here".
Looking at the quartiles fills in the picture. A quarter of earners take home less than 315,700 CNY (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 639,900 CNY (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of electoral project coordinators sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.
The very lowest reported salaries sit around 214,000 CNY. The highest stretch to 722,100 CNY, though only a small fraction of earners ever reach that level. If you are deciding whether your own offer or current pay is reasonable, work out which of those four bands you would fall into and use that as your reference point.
Electoral project coordinator pay by experience in China
Years of experience is the single biggest lever on pay for an electoral project coordinator in China, ahead of education and almost any other single factor. The longer you have been in the role, the more your employer can trust you to handle complexity, mentor others and act independently, all of which command higher pay. The chart below shows how the typical electoral project coordinator salary changes as you move through the career ladder.
- 0-2 Years247,800 CNY
- 2-5 Years+38% from previous341,400 CNY
- 5-10 Years+42% from previous485,200 CNY
- 10-15 Years+22% from previous592,200 CNY
- 15-20 Years+6% from previous626,800 CNY
- 20+ Years+9% from previous681,500 CNY
The single largest jump on the ladder is from 2 - 5 Years to 5 - 10 Years, where pay rises by about 42%. That is the point at which a electoral project coordinator typically goes from "competent in the role" to "the person other people in the team learn from", and the market pays well for that step.
Electoral project coordinator pay by education in China
Education sits alongside experience as one of the biggest factors driving electoral project coordinator pay in China. Higher qualifications consistently pull higher salaries, but the size of the gap tends to be smallest at junior levels and widens as people move up. Two people in the same role with the same years of experience but different degrees can end up earning very different money once they reach mid-career.

Electoral project coordinator gender pay gap in China
The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and China is no exception. Male electoral project coordinators in China earn an average of 480,300 CNY a year, while female electoral project coordinators earn around 436,200 CNY. That works out to a 10% gap in favour of men, even when comparing people doing the same work.
A pay gap of this size has a real long-term cost. Over a typical thirty-year career it can add up to several years of pay, and it compounds through pensions, retirement contributions and bonus-linked stock. Some of the gap is explained by women being more likely to work part-time, take career breaks, or be steered toward lower-paying specialisations. Some of it is straightforward unequal pay for the same job, which is harder to defend.

Pay raises for an electoral project coordinator in China
Most countries hand out at least some kind of pay raise every year, typically when an employee's contract is reviewed or as a cost-of-living adjustment to keep wages roughly in step with inflation. The rhythm and size of those raises varies hugely between industries.
A typical worker doing this role in China sees a raise of about 14% every 15 months, which works out to roughly 11% on an annual basis. That figure is the typical underlying rate; in years where inflation runs high you can usually expect a bit more, and in flat-economy years a bit less.
Across all jobs in China, the national average raise is around 9% every 15 months.

Electoral project coordinator bonus rates in China
Bonuses are the other half of total compensation, and they vary a lot between jobs and industries. Some roles are paid almost entirely in base salary; others lean heavily on bonus structures tied to revenue, project completion or company performance. Whether a job pays a bonus, how big it is, and how often it lands all factor into whether the headline salary is actually a good offer.
35% of electoral project coordinators in China reported a bonus of some kind in the past twelve months. That makes an electoral project coordinator a low-bonus role overall, which is useful context when you're weighing up a job offer where the base is below market.
Among those who did receive a bonus, the size of the payment varied substantially. Reported bonuses ranged from 0% to 4% of base salary. The remaining 65% of electoral project coordinators reported no bonus at all over the same period.
