The meeting also reviewed the status and outcomes of voter list verification, along with guidance on the utilization of the National Population Database and the National Digital Identification Application (VNeID) in service of the election process.
Concluding the session, Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Council, Vo Van Minh, urged the assisting subcommittees, agencies, units, and localities to promptly coordinate in finalizing candidates’ biographies and action programs, enabling voters to access, monitor, and study relevant information in a timely manner.

Concluding the session, Mr. Vo Van Minh emphasized the importance of financial arrangements for election activities, requesting the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Finance to promptly advise and provide timely guidance to agencies, units, and localities.
The Ho Chi Minh City Police was tasked with coordinating with local election committees to review and verify voter lists to ensure accuracy, while maintaining security, public order, and social safety before, during, and after the elections.
