Hung said: “I think the preparations have been very thorough. Although there are still a few days left before election day, the atmosphere is already very festive and uplifting.”
The preparations are not limited to main streets but have also spread to residential neighborhoods. At many polling stations, voter lists have been publicly posted, enabling residents to easily review and verify their information.
Nguyen Van Truong, head of the Doan Ket residential area in Duong Noi Ward, said: “In line with the nationwide preparations for the election of deputies to the 16th National Assembly and People’s Councils at all levels, our residential group has made plans since the beginning of the year. We have also arranged shifts and teams on duty, decorated the polling sites and stepped up communication so residents can follow the Party and State’s policies and guidelines.”

The communication focuses on voters’ rights and responsibilities, key milestones, election procedures and voting principles.
These efforts help residents better understand the process and raise their sense of responsibility when casting their ballots to elect capable and dedicated representatives.
Thuc said: “Phu Luong ward has fully implemented and disseminated all contents related to the election. The programs, plans and schedule are being carried out in accordance with regulations, readying for the election.”
