A bustling "national festival"

These days, preparations for the 16th National Assembly elections and the elections for People's Councils at all levels for the 2026-2031 term in Hoa Tri and Tay Ninh Hoa communes are bustling and urgent. From propaganda work, voter registration and compilation to the preparation of facilities at polling stations, everything is being implemented synchronously and systematically, demonstrating the determination to organize the election in a democratic, safe, and compliant manner, truly making it a "national festival".

Strengthening propaganda efforts

Arriving in Tay Ninh Hoa commune in early March, we clearly felt the vibrant atmosphere spreading along every street. National flags, Party flags, banners, and slogans promoting the election day were prominently displayed. Alongside this, the public address system regularly broadcast news about the rights and obligations of voters, the criteria for representatives, and the time and location of voting. At the community center in Buon Lac village, many residents attentively reviewed the voter list and brief biographies of the candidates. Ms. H. Ut from Buon Lac village confided: “I am an Ede ethnic minority, and I have voted many times. Every election, voters in the village remind each other to attend in large numbers. This year, the officials have been very thorough in their propaganda efforts, even coming to our homes to guide and remind us to double-check our names and ages. I am looking forward to election day so I can cast my ballot myself.” Mr. Y Ú also shared: “Currently, voters clearly understand their rights and responsibilities. I will go vote early and encourage my relatives to participate fully. I hope that those elected will pay more attention to the lives of the people, especially ethnic minorities.”

Residents of Buon Lac village (Tay Ninh Hoa commune) are reviewing the list of candidates for the 16th National Assembly and People's Councils at all levels for the 2026-2031 term.

The atmosphere of election preparation in Hoa Tri commune is also urgent and serious. All tasks are being implemented synchronously, ensuring they are on schedule and in accordance with regulations. In the 19 village community centers, voter lists are prominently displayed, making it easy for people to monitor and check them. In public areas, along roads, and within each residential area, national flags, banners, and propaganda slogans are displayed uniformly and prominently. On central roads, mobile propaganda vehicles regularly broadcast messages about the meaning and importance of the election to each residential area. The public address system is maintained daily, providing complete and timely information, contributing to raising voters' awareness of their rights and responsibilities. As a result, the atmosphere leading up to the election of National Assembly deputies for the 16th term and People's Council representatives at all levels for the 2026-2031 term is even more vibrant and enthusiastic. Ms. Nguyen Thi Ba, a voter from Chap Le village, shared: “The list of candidates is publicly and clearly posted, making it convenient for voters to study and choose. Voting is both a right and a responsibility of every voter, so my family reminds each other to arrange our work schedules to participate fully.”

Proactive and coordinated in every stage of preparation.

Tay Ninh Hoa commune has 5 electoral units and 10 polling areas (13 villages and 1 armed forces unit). The commune has established 10 polling stations and assigned specific tasks to each member. After 3 rounds of consultations, the official list of candidates for the commune People's Council for the 2026-2031 term includes 31 people; the total number of registered voters is 13,098. Mr. Nguyen Dinh - Standing Vice Chairman of the Commune People's Committee said: “We consider the election of the 16th National Assembly and the People's Councils at all levels for the 2026-2031 term as a particularly important political task in 2026. Therefore, the Commune People's Committee has proactively developed a detailed plan, closely following the directives of higher levels, assigning tasks clearly to specific people, with clear deadlines. Each stage and each part of the work is regularly checked and reviewed to ensure progress and quality.”

The polling station in Buôn Lác village (Tây Ninh Hòa commune) is attractively decorated.

Regarding the process of compiling and posting voter lists, Tay Ninh Hoa commune strictly adheres to the principle of "complete, clean, and accurate," ensuring no duplication, no omissions, and reflecting the actual residency situation. Working groups visit each village and household to verify and update information, promptly adjusting any changes in population. Simultaneously, propaganda efforts are intensified through various forms suitable for different target groups, especially in ethnic minority areas, helping people understand their rights and obligations.

Hoa Tri commune has established 6 election committees and 19 polling stations corresponding to 19 polling areas. The entire commune has 19,994 voters, and according to regulations, they will elect 21 representatives to the commune People's Council from a total of 36 candidates on the official list. To date, the commune has completed printing documents, preparing ballot boxes, seals, and facilities for election day. Mr. Nguyen Huu Nam - Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee, Chairman of the People's Committee of the commune, and Chairman of the Commune Election Committee, said: “We are determined to prepare thoroughly so that every voter feels a sense of solemnity and convenience when coming to the polling station. To date, the basic tasks have been completed according to plan. The commune will continue to carefully review the voter list, inspect the facilities at each polling area; listen to and promptly address feedback from the people...”.

At this point, the atmosphere leading up to election day in Hoa Tri and Tay Ninh Hoa communes continues to spread widely. The proactive approach of the government, along with the sense of responsibility and trust of the voters, is a crucial foundation for the election day to be successful and truly become a celebration of will, belief, and aspirations for the development of the homeland.
