The Ministry of Home Affairs proposes that in cases of establishment, dissolution, merger, division, adjustment of boundaries and renaming of provincial-level administrative units, the provincial People's Committee shall organize to collect opinions from households in all commune-level administrative units belonging to that provincial-level administrative unit. In cases of establishment, dissolution, merger, division, adjustment of boundaries and renaming of commune-level administrative units, the provincial People's Committee shall organize to collect opinions from households in that commune-level administrative unit.

Regarding the results of the consultation, the draft Decree stipulates that the report on the results of the consultation must show the total number of households in the area, the number of households participating in the consultation, the number of households agreeing, the number of households disagreeing, and other opinions (if any).

" If the results of the consultation on the establishment, dissolution, merger, division, adjustment of boundaries and renaming of administrative units reach the approval of more than 50% of the total number of households in the area (calculated according to each commune-level administrative unit), the project development agency will continue to complete the project and send it to the People's Councils of relevant administrative units for comments ," the draft Decree clearly states.

In cases where it has not reached 50%, the Provincial People's Committee shall direct the organization of propaganda, persuasion, mobilization and reception of valid opinions from the People to complete the Project, ensuring the approval rate of the People according to regulations.
