You are completely misrepresenting the Cuban system.
There are multi candidates for most every seat in all 3 parliamentary levels. They do campaign. After an election to any seat (from among multiple candidates) there is a process called a Ratification Election - where 50% +1 of the voters must ratify the elected candidate to his/her seat with a yes or no vote. I have been in Cuba for an entire election season and observed it. You can read about it here..
