Tây Hồ ward sets the standard for Hanoi's smooth city council election
Tây Hồ ward in Hanoi has completed preparations for the city's 17th People's Council election. All 68,603 eligible voters received their cards, and polling stations opened early for residents eager to cast their ballots. The ward was praised for its organisation, particularly at Polling Station No. 21, as part of a citywide effort involving 31 constituencies and 205 candidates vying for 125 seats.
The ward's election committee ensured every eligible voter was registered and listed. Names appeared on public displays at the ward People's Committee headquarters and each of the 27 polling stations. Voter data was also uploaded into the ward's management software to streamline the process.
On election day, residents arrived early to fulfill their civic duties. The atmosphere was festive, with red flags, banners, and slogans decorating the polling sites. Mobile ballot boxes were dispatched to homes, and staff assisted voters who needed support. The Prime Minister had previously urged the committee to facilitate early voting and guarantee access for all. He later commended Tây Hồ for its thorough preparations, emphasising the need for a democratic, safe, and lawful election. The ward's efforts reflect Hanoi's broader election setup, where 31 constituencies will elect 125 representatives from 205 candidates for the 2026–2031 term.
Tây Hồ ward's election ran smoothly, with all 68,603 voters given the chance to participate. The use of mobile ballot boxes and public voter lists helped ensure accessibility and transparency. The results will contribute to forming Hanoi's 17th City People's Council for the next five years.
