In a spirit of democracy, constructive engagement, and responsibility, voters have expressed many thoughts, aspirations, and suggestions to the National Assembly and the Government for consideration and resolution.

Voter Lu Ngoc Tinh - Chairman of the People's Committee of Nhon Mai commune - proposed the construction of a bridge across the Nam Noi river connecting the two villages of Phia Oi and Pieng Luong. These are two isolated villages in Nhon Mai commune, making travel very difficult. He requested that the delegates propose to the relevant authorities and departments a plan to build this essential bridge.

Regarding transportation infrastructure, voter Lo Van Tuyen, Secretary of the Party Branch of San village, suggested accelerating the construction of the road from San village to the People's Committee of the commune. This is a frequently used route for the villagers, yet only the section from Yen Tinh commune to San village in Huu Khuong commune has been completed.

On the other hand, voter Lo Van Tuyen also suggested that the State should have policies to support farmers with seedlings and livestock for production and economic development.

Regarding the issue of special policies for commune and village officials, voter Vi Thi Man - Vice Chairman of the Commune People's Council - suggested that the delegates consider and propose to the National Assembly and the Government to pay attention to and find a solution.

Also at the voter consultation meeting in Huu Khuong commune, many voters made suggestions regarding increasing the budget for forest environmental payments to forces and households participating in forest protection; requesting the National Assembly to discuss with the Government to allow the conversion of low-economic-value protection forests into agricultural land to be allocated to farmers; and establishing a special mechanism for forest protection and management forces, specifically regarding staffing quotas. The number of forestry officials is decreasing due to low income, making it difficult for the governing body to retain personnel.

At the meeting, voters received answers from relevant departments of the commune and district regarding several issues of concern to them.
