9 districts, towns and cities have elected village and residential area chiefs.

Hai Duong City is the locality in the province that elected the most village and residential area heads on their first attempt at community meetings.

By the morning of January 8th, all nine districts, towns, and cities in Hai Duong province had completed the election of village and residential area heads.

In the districts of Binh Giang, Cam Giang, Kim Thanh, Nam Sach, Ninh Giang, and Thanh Mien, there are 1-2 villages or residential areas where no village or residential area head has been elected after two rounds of elections.
The Chairman of the People's Committee at the commune level has decided to appoint a temporary village or neighborhood head to manage the activities of the village or neighborhood until a new village or neighborhood head is elected.

Three localities have not yet completed the election of village and residential area heads. Specifically, Hai Duong City has elected 205 village and residential area heads, with only a few villages in Tien Tien commune and one area in Hai Tan ward yet to hold elections. The districts of Tu Ky and Thanh Ha still have some communes that have not held elections for village and residential area heads and will do so in January.

In the first instance of organizing community meetings under Decree 59/2023/ND-CP dated August 14, 2023, which details some provisions of the Law on Implementation of Democracy at the Grassroots Level, many localities faced difficulties because many community meetings did not ensure the attendance of more than 50% of family representatives.

Hai Duong City is the locality in the province that organized the election of the most village and residential area heads on the first attempt at community meetings, with only 8 out of 205 villages and residential areas having to distribute ballots to each household to gather opinions.

In the province, there were some villages or residential areas where two candidates ran for office, but since the election was unsuccessful, both candidates withdrew, and the Chairman of the Commune People's Committee appointed an interim village or residential area head. There were also cases where a person was elected village head but later submitted a resignation letter (this person had a letter from voters).
