Blind people are guided through the steps of the election process.

Thoroughly guided

These days, Mr. Nguyen Van Quoc, a member working at Niềm Tin 17.4 Co., Ltd. (affiliated with the Hue City Association of the Blind), is very excited because in just a few days he will be able to hold in his hands a ballot to vote for National Assembly and People's Council representatives at all levels for the 2026-2031 term as a voter.

"Many people wonder how blind people can vote to elect outstanding representatives. This is quite unusual, but blind people can overcome this unusual situation in many ways," shared Mr. Nguyen Van Quoc.

According to Vu Van Tuan, Vice Chairman of the Hue City Association of the Blind, 1,869 members of the association will cast their votes through the VNeID application on their smartphones, using software designed for the visually impaired. Prior to voting, members were thoroughly instructed on how to research the candidates' biographies and how to select the correct number of delegates as stipulated.

“Older members will have additional support from their relatives. The most important thing is that everyone can exercise their civic rights conveniently and lawfully. In this process, technology is not just a tool, but also a connecting bridge, ensuring that ‘special voters’ are not left out of the nation’s common cause,” Mr. Tuan emphasized.

Bringing ballots to every home, entrusting our faith in you.

In Vy Da ward, we followed Mr. Ho Dinh Hoa, Secretary of the Xuan Hoa residential group Party branch and Head of the polling station in area 19, to visit the family of Ms. Phan Thi Dai. Ms. Dai and her two sisters are all elderly and frail, frequently ill, and unable to go to the polling station on their own.

"We informed the neighborhood committee for guidance. Even though we can't travel, we still want to cast our ballots in person," Ms. Dai confided.

At polling station number 19, there are 1,914 voters, of whom nearly 100 are from impoverished households, the elderly, the sick, or have mobility difficulties. For local officials, these are the "special" voters who need more attention.

Mr. Hoa shared that, in addition to going door-to-door to spread awareness and explain the significance of election day, the election committee also provided specific guidance on how to choose the correct number of representatives according to regulations, avoiding errors. By March 15, 2026, supplementary ballot boxes will be brought to voters' homes so they can cast their votes legally and according to procedure.

Heading south to the coastal areas and lagoons of Thuan An, Phong Quang, Phu Loc… the vibrant red of flags and flowers adorns every road. The atmosphere of preparation for the grand celebration spreads from the mainland to the sea. For fishermen, even as they tirelessly make a living at sea, March 15, 2026, is still remembered as an important milestone.

Mr. Nguyen Ty, a fisherman from Thuan An ward, shared: "We go out to sea, but on election day, we have to return to shore. We hope that the elected representatives will pay attention to the people in coastal areas, so that we can feel secure in developing our economy and contributing to maintaining the sovereignty of our homeland's seas and islands."

From cities to rural areas, from the mainland to the islands, from healthy people to those with special circumstances, everyone shares the same excitement in anticipation of the grand celebration.

Bidding farewell to Mr. Quoc, Mr. Tuan, Mr. Hoa, Mrs. Dai, Mr. Ty… as election day approached, we clearly felt one thing: the ballot is not just a right, but also a belief. It is a belief placed in those who represent the will and aspirations of the people; a belief in a new term with many positive developments; a belief in the future development and prosperity of our homeland and country.
