The website is expected to become an important tool in the work of directing, operating, propagating and looking up election information. This system gathers all documents of the Party, Government, National Election Council, Fatherland Front and local Election Committees; at the same time, it creates conditions for people to access transparent and accurate information, thereby strengthening the people's trust in the Party and State, contributing to organizing democratic, equal, legal, safe and economical elections.

Regarding personnel work, the General Secretary noted the focus on selecting truly exemplary delegates who are loyal to the Fatherland and the People, virtuous, talented, healthy and dedicated to participating in the activities of the National Assembly and People's Councils. The structure of delegates must ensure harmonious representation among sectors, classes, genders, ages, ethnicities, and occupations, from officials and civil servants to businessmen, artists, and religions. At the same time, it is necessary to resolutely eliminate those who take advantage of politics, cling to power, are dishonest, or violate the law.
