Agencies responsible for nominations have sought to maintain a balanced structure while upholding quality standards, avoiding compromises on either criteria or representativeness requirements.
From February 26 to March 14, the province will prioritize voter meetings and election campaigning in line with election law and guidance from central authorities.
The provincial Election Committee reported that communications efforts have been stepped up to create a high-profile election period; brief biographies of candidates for the 16th N.A. and People’s Councils at all levels printed; and ballot boxes, candidate profiles, regulations and voter cards distributed to localities. Materials will also be delivered ahead of time to early voting areas in the Truong Sa special zone.
Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee and head of the provincial Election Committee Tran Phong noted that the successful 14th National Party Congress has ushered in a new development phase with higher ambitions and a longer-term vision. Against this backdrop, Khanh Hoa is intensifying preparations for the upcoming elections, with ballots cast by voters in Truong Sa carrying particular symbolic significance as an expression of citizens’ right to mastery on the nation’s frontline outposts.
Province-wide, 66 election steering committees and 66 election committees have been established, alongside support teams and subcommittees, including four N.A. election committees, 19 provincial People’s Council election committees and 387 commune-level committees. A total of 1,123 polling stations have been approved across 65 communes, wards and special zones, with voter lists publicly posted for review.
So far, no complaints or denunciations related to the election process have been recorded in Khanh Hoa, Phuong said.
