It is necessary to organize periodic votes of confidence for officials.

In recent years, along with Party building and rectification, we have been actively implementing administrative reforms and have achieved positive results: State administrative institutions have been built and implemented effectively; Administrative procedures have fundamentally changed towards transparency, modernity, simplicity and convenience; The effectiveness and efficiency of State management have been constantly improved; Strongly innovate the civil service regime and build a team of cadres, civil servants and public employees; Improve the effectiveness of public financial management; Promote digital transformation in State administration,... creating favorable conditions for people and businesses.

Officials and civil servants are an important and indispensable link in the State administration system, and an important subject in the administrative reform process. This team is responsible for organizing the implementation of policies and laws, managing areas of social life, ensuring effectiveness and efficiency in State management. Officials and official work are very important in the development of the country, of each sector, locality and unit. The team of officials and civil servants has grown, making an important contribution to the overall victory of the country.

However, there are still many officials and civil servants who are not aware of their honor and responsibility, do not take care of their work, lack creativity, dare to think, dare to do, dare to take responsibility. There are still manifestations of bureaucracy or "sitting still", "waiting for heaven and earth", taking "safety as a friend" and "waiting for the right time", or forming cliques, creating inertia in the apparatus, even degenerating, degenerating, not implementing correctly, violating the law, ... becoming "worms" that destroy, reducing the people's trust in the Party, the State and the regime. This not only causes negative and inhibiting psychology for businesses and people, but also creates a tense atmosphere within agencies and organizations. This is an alarming signal for the modern public administration, “of the people, by the people, for the people”, promoting democratic values, professionalism, modernity, streamlining, effectiveness, efficiency, integrity, and the capacity to create development and serve the people.

Work efficiency is the most accurate measure of the awareness, responsibility and working capacity of cadres. We are in great need of dynamic, creative, decisive, strong people who are devoted to the country and the people. Taking a vote of confidence for cadres is to exercise the democratic right, to supervise and evaluate the trust of cadres and the people in those holding positions elected or approved by the National Assembly and People's Councils at all levels, as a basis for reviewing and evaluating cadres. This is also an opportunity to evaluate the work efficiency of key positions; at the same time, it is an opportunity to "self-examine and self-correct", promoting the sense of responsibility for cadres and civil servants in the political system at all levels.

The organization of the vote of confidence must be organized appropriately. The people who participate in the vote are those who have a basic understanding of the situation and work results of those who are voted for. Avoid voting based on emotions or "following the crowd". For example, at the grassroots level, votes of confidence should be taken from the Secretaries, Village Chiefs, representatives of sectors, organizations, delegates of the People's Council of the commune, etc. for the positions of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee, the heads of the government, the Fatherland Front and the organizations in the political system at the commune level. At the district level, votes of confidence should be taken from the members of the Standing Committee of the grassroots level, heads and deputy heads of the departments, sectors, organizations at the district level, delegates of the People's Council of the district for the positions of the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee, the heads of the government, organizations in the political system at the district level, etc.

Illustration.

A very important element is to get votes from the cadres, civil servants, and public employees at the base of the cadre being voted. They are the ones who understand their leaders best. This voting will help make the assessment more accurate, not just the assessment from superiors, and will avoid the situation where cadres "flatter the superiors, bully the subordinates", only knowing how to deal with superiors with performance reports that are not true to reality. From there, it will help cadres try harder at work, care more about subordinates, and complete assigned tasks well.

If the organization is truly public, serious, and truly receptive to listening, then after each vote of confidence, those who have done well will be recognized and will be more excited and confident; those who have not done well will be warned and reminded, and their awareness, responsibility, and spirit of striving to complete the assigned tasks will be more clearly demonstrated. This is also the basis, condition, and an important channel for evaluating, planning, and appointing cadres, sometimes without having to wait until the end of the term. Thanks to that, not only will the image and prestige of cadres be strengthened, but the common work of each sector, locality, and unit will have positive changes.
