We identify propaganda work as a key task to ensure that every citizen clearly understands their time, meaning, and responsibility in participating in the election," Mr. Tri said.
The Special Zone has implemented many flexible forms of propaganda, suitable to local conditions. From village meetings to social networking sites, content related to elections continuously spread.
Not only on the island, propaganda work is also deployed to fishing boats fishing offshore.
The Special Zone Election Commission coordinated with relevant units to distribute leaflets and provide information through the radio communication system for captains and crew members to grasp information about the election day.
In a phone conversation, Mr. Chau Minh Ngoc - a crew member of a fishing boat fishing in the DK1 offshore platform fishing grounds - said that information about the election has been widely disseminated, so fishermen know very well.
After pulling a few more nets, the ship will return to Phu Quy Special Zone. According to calculations, by the morning of March 14, 3 ships will dock for the brothers on board to rest and participate in elections in Phu Quy on March 15," Mr. Ngoc shared.
Currently, plans to ensure security and order, the preparation of documents, ballots as well as facilities to serve the election day are being urgently completed by the locality, ready for the festival of voters on remote islands.
