In recent days, Ms. Trinh Thi Phuong - Head of the Front Work Committee of Phu Binh residential group - has regularly driven a motorbike with a portable speaker to go all over the alleys to propagate about the election.
According to Ms. Phuong, the residential group has 8 alleys with more than 1,600 voters, many of whom are hired workers, often working all day, so it is difficult to access information. Therefore, using mobile loudspeakers to go to each alley helps people easily listen and grasp.
“I go twice a day, in the morning around 9 am and in the afternoon around 3 pm. The broadcast content is very concise and easy to understand about the election time, voting methods and voters' rights. Thanks to that, so far, most voters have grasped the necessary information,” Ms. Phuong shared.
According to Ms. Phuong, Phu Binh area has a high population density and many boarding houses. After the recent rain and flood, some small alleys were affected, and large propaganda vehicles were difficult to access. Therefore, mobile loudspeakers mounted on motorbikes have become a suitable and effective propaganda method.
Not only Phu Binh residential group, many residential areas in Tay Nha Trang ward also implemented similar methods to bring election information to people in a close and direct way.
Ms. Tran Thi Hong Van - Chairwoman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee (VFF) of Tay Nha Trang ward - said that propaganda work is being promoted with the motto "going through every alley, knocking on every door".
In addition to the ward's loudspeaker system, panels and posters on main roads, socio-political organizations and the residential area Fatherland Front Committee all participate in propaganda.
In which, the "grassroots loudspeaker" model is assessed to bring clear efficiency.
Uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters in the residential group use motorbikes to carry mobile loudspeakers to sneak into each smallest alley to propagate. This approach helps election information reach people in a lively, close way, creating a joyful atmosphere before the great festival of the whole people," Ms. Van said.
In particular, the ward area has many workers renting rooms and has just experienced a major flood. Therefore, the Ward Front has organized propaganda outside of office hours to suit the working hours of workers.
Propaganda forces are arranged to operate in the early morning, evening or weekend. Front officials and residential groups also directly go to boarding houses to exchange and provide information about the election.
At the same time, the locality also promotes the role of landlords as "propagandists" on the spot, reminding and supporting tenants to arrange time to vote in accordance with regulations.
In addition to propaganda work, many propaganda and environmental embellishment activities are also being implemented to create a lively atmosphere before the election day.
Forces such as veterans, youth unions, and trade unions organized propaganda parades on the streets. At the same time, residential groups launched general environmental sanitation, collected waste, cleared bushes, and cleaned up the area around the polling station.
People are also mobilized to clean up in front of their houses, hang national flags in accordance with regulations, contributing to creating a spacious appearance for residential areas before the election day.
According to local representatives, flexible and practical approaches such as "the sound of loudspeakers sticking to grassroots levels" have helped ensure that all voters in the area have access to information and are ready to exercise their rights and citizens' obligations on election day 15/3.
