The staging short plays contest at Dai Phuc commune, Thai Nguyen province (VOV-Northeast Region)

Combining election information with culture is making election preparations in Dai Phuc commune more interesting. The authorities have organized a contest for 57 villages and hamlets in which voters’ rights and responsibilities are explained through the dialogue of characters in short plays. “Election Story” by Team No. 3 was one of the most impressive plays.

Team leader Nguyen Huy Son said, “‘Election Story’ explains how a voter can choose the right candidates. Casting a ballot in the election of deputies to the 16th National Assembly and People’s Councils at all levels for the 2026-2031 term is the right and the responsibility of every citizen.”
