Early voting held in Truong Sa Special Zone
(VOVWORLD) - Early voting for deputies to the 16th National Assembly and People’s Councils for the 2026–2031 term took place on the morning of March 8 at 20 polling stations across islands in the Truong Sa Special Zone of Khanh Hoa province.

The polling station on Truong Sa Island itself will hold voting on March 15 in line with the rest of the country.
As a remote offshore area with harsh weather conditions, the electorate includes officials, soldiers, island residents and fishermen operating in nearby fishing grounds. The early election aims to ensure the overall national schedule while accommodating duties related to combat readiness and the protection of Vietnam’s maritime sovereignty.
In a solemn atmosphere, voters on the islands exercised their democratic rights to choose representatives deserved to serve in the National Assembly and local People’s Councils for the new term.
