The National Election Council has issued 6-step protocol on election day to keep voters safe amid complicated developments of COVID-19 pandemic.

Voters are those who have the right to vote. All Vietnamese citizens, who hold Vietnamese nationality, are aged from 18 and above and meet all conditions defined by law, have the right to vote.

For voters who are under quarantine in residential areas implementing social isolation measures or are under lockdown but are not yet on the list of voters, the Election Team must review and make a list of these voters and send it to communal-level People’s Committees for addition to the list of voters in the new polling station where the quarantine area is located.

The elections of deputies to the 15th National Assembly and all-levels People’s Councils for the 2021-2025 tenure took place in Vietnam on May 23.

A strict safety protocol against COVID-19 is carried out at polling stations to ensure safety for voters given the complicated developments of the coronavirus pandemic.
