Previously, on November 15, the National Election Council held a national conference to disseminate the Politburo 's Directive and deploy the election of deputies to the 16th National Assembly and People's Councils at all levels for the 2026-2031 term.

The conference was organized in a combination of in-person and online formats to provincial and commune-level bridges in 34 provinces and cities across the country.

Accordingly, regarding age, the guidance of the Central Organizing Committee clearly states that the time to calculate the age for participating in the full-time National Assembly deputies of the 16th term and full-time People's Council deputies of the 2026-2031 term is March 2026.

First-time candidates must be old enough to have participated in at least two terms of the National Assembly or People's Council, at least one full term; male: born from March 1969, female: born from September 1972 onwards; in the case of female delegates holding positions that are eligible to retire at a higher age according to Decree No. 83/2022 of the Government , they must have been born from March 1971 onwards.

Full-time National Assembly deputies at the central and local levels who are re-elected; full-time People's Council deputies who are re-elected (except for Central Party Committee members) must have at least 36 months of remaining working time (male: born from March 1967; female: born from May 1971 onwards).

In cases where they are no longer old enough to be re-elected but have not yet reached retirement age, the competent authority in charge of managing cadres will proactively do a good job of ideological work, encourage them to retire from work, retire early, and enjoy the prescribed regimes and policies; consider and arrange suitable work or maintain some regimes, waiting for them to reach retirement age.

In case of a person with high professional qualifications, much practical experience, outstanding capacity and many products in institutional and legal building, he/she can report to the competent authority for consideration and application of senior expert regime and policies.
