The first general election to the National Assembly of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, now the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, took place on January 6, 1946, marking a significant historical milestone, opening the process of building a new democratic regime in the country.

The success of the election had the contribution of the revolutionary press, including the Nhat bao Quoc hoi.

The special journal was published in a short time from December 17, 1945 to January 6, 1946, aiming to popularize the objectives and meaning of the election, guiding and encouraging the masses to join the election as candidates and voters.

It also refuted the distortions of the opposition forces aimed at sabotaging the election. Despite its short operation time in 21 days with only 15 editions, the journal made great contributions to communications activities for the election.
