Is the arrangement of candidates for People's Council deputies at the election teams in accordance with regulations?
+ Mr. Nguyen Xuan Lang and Mr. Dinh Viet Ky, representing a number of voters in Dien Thai commune, Dien Chau, presented two complaints about the qualifications of three candidates for the People's Council; at the same time, there was a letter asking about a candidate for the People's Council who is a teacher working in Election Team No. 4 but the Commune Election Committee arranged the election in Team No. 5 (where there are no voters working with the candidate). Is it correct that the father is the Head and Deputy Head of the Election Team and has a child who is a candidate for the People's Council elected in that team?
Regarding your question, we would like to answer as follows: Regarding the complaint that the candidates for the People's Council of the commune violated the standards, the Editorial Board of Nghe An Newspaper has sent document No. 179/PC.BD.BNA dated May 12 to the Election Committee of Dien Chau district for inspection and resolution. The question is related to the arrangement and introduction of candidates for the People's Council of the commune to the Election Team. According to the provisions of the Law on the Election of National Assembly Deputies and the Law on the Election of People's Council Deputies, the arrangement of candidates to the Election Team of which constituency is the authority of the Election Committee at that level through consultations.
On the other hand, the Law on the Organization of People's Councils stipulates that the People's Council delegates of communes represent the voters of the entire commune, not each unit of the Election Team (hamlet, agency), so in principle, if one wants to be elected, one must have enough votes of confidence according to regulations. The arrangement in which election team is not a decisive factor in winning the election. If in an Election Team, the father is the team leader or deputy team leader but has a child who is a candidate for the elected representative here, it is not in accordance with regulations. Voters can petition this content to the Commune Election Committee to transfer the team leader or deputy team leader to another election team and transfer another team leader or deputy team leader to that election team.
