The activity to collect voters' opinions will be held at the halls of villages and residential groups. For places with 200 or more households, meetings can be divided into residential areas.
The village chief and the head of the residential group can authorize a member of the Front Working Committee or a prestigious citizen in the residential area to chair, chair a meeting and report the results for general synthesis.
