These days, the Hop Tan village cultural center (Hoang Thanh commune) is regularly open for members of Election Team No. 21 to hold meetings, discuss and implement election-related tasks, and for people to check voter information and promptly report any errors to the Election Team. Election Team No. 21 has 707 voters, including 50 fishermen who regularly go out to sea to fish. Therefore, along with preparing other necessary conditions, Election Team No. 21 pays close attention to propaganda work to ensure that the majority of people, especially fishermen, understand the regulations of the Election Law; the purpose and significance of election day; and the rights and responsibilities of each voter. “For families with voters involved in fishing at sea, the polling station team went to each family to disseminate information, so that fishermen could arrange their time to exercise their civic rights, striving for 100% voter turnout in the village,” said Mr. Nguyen Xuan Thuy, Party Secretary and Head of Polling Station No. 21, Hop Tan village.
