According to VNA, in the article "10 Notable Elections in 2026", the US Council on Foreign Relations ranked the election of Vietnamese National Assembly and People's Council deputies at all levels into the group of notable political events of the year. The article argues that the election will reflect the will and high level of political consensus after the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam.
According to the assessment of the East Asia Forum of the Australian National University, the election on March 15, 2026 may become a "strategic turning point", as Vietnam both seeks to maintain economic growth momentum and adjust foreign policy in the context of increasing competition between major countries.
The South China Morning Post (Hong Kong, China) commented that Vietnam is promoting institutional reform and strengthening corruption prevention and control, so the new term National Assembly is expected to continue to play an important role in perfecting the legal framework and strengthening the supervision of the State apparatus's activities.
In a podcast on March 10 on Stratfor's website, Asia-Pacific regional expert Nate Fischler of RANE Consulting Company commented that the upcoming election may further clarify policy orientations in the new period and have a certain impact on Vietnam's political and economic environment.
On his personal social media account, Professor Edmund Malesky of Duke University (USA) said that the election will contribute to strengthening the institutional foundation for the next development stage, and predicted that the new Congress may have more young faces with policy capacity to strengthen the role of law-making and supervising administrative reforms.
VNA quoted Mr. Marcelo Rodriguez, Head of the Foreign Affairs Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Argentina, as saying that the upcoming election of National Assembly and People's Council deputies of Vietnam is of great significance in continuing to consolidate the political system, promote the reform process and create new momentum for the country's development in the context of a volatile world situation.
Regarding the early election organization as usual, Mr. Marcelo Rodriguez said that this decision reflects Vietnam's proactiveness in accelerating the administrative reform process and consolidating the state management system. According to him, the early formation of a new term government will create favorable conditions for the effective implementation of development policies in the next stage.
Regarding the tasks of the delegates in the next term, Mr. Marcelo Rodriguez said that the elected bodies of Vietnam will continue to play a key role in implementing the development goals identified at the recent 14th Party Congress, especially the orientations on socio-economic development, national modernization and improving people's lives.
Ms. Le Thuong - Chairwoman of the Kansai Vietnamese Association (Japan) - is expected to return to Vietnam to directly participate in voting, showing political responsibility and deep affection for her homeland and country.
Being present in the country helps her fully feel the value of the ballot, accompanying important policies of the country. In addition, this action also aims to spread the sense of responsibility of citizens to the Vietnamese community abroad, no matter where they live, every Vietnamese person still looks towards the Fatherland and participates in the political life of the country.
Directly participating in the election also helps her get closer to domestic reality, listen to the thoughts and aspirations of voters, thereby continuing to promote the role of a bridge between overseas Vietnamese and their homeland, contributing to consolidating the great national unity bloc in the new development stage.
