At the session, Vice President Xuan praised the local efforts to organise meetings between the NA candidates and voters, raise the people’s awareness of their rights and obligations to vote in the elections, and resolve citizens’ relevant complaints and denunciations.
To ensure safety on the election day amidst the COVID-19 complexity, she asked the province to strengthen pandemic prevention and control measures, accelerate communication on the elections, and provide full information on the candidates as well as the rules and methods for valid voting.
Dak Nong should well anticipate the possible situations concerning political security, social order, natural disasters and especially COVID-19 to make proactive and effective response, while reviewing and promptly supplementing necessary equipment to ensure infrastructure for the elections, the Vice President said.
