(Baonghean) - NAlthough the national election day falls on the semester exam period, this important event still attracts the attention of a large number of students. Most young voters share the same joyful and eager mood when holding their own ballots to vote. Below are the shares of students recorded by Nghe An Newspaper reporters.

Tran Thi Khanh Hoa–Class 50A, Faculty of Politics and National Defense Education - Vinh University:

My class has 48 students, of which 70% are exercising their right to vote for the first time. My friends and I have learned about the candidates through the media, through the list board where there are brief biographies of the candidates and followed the programs and actions of the candidates during their meetings with voters.

I also studied the guidance documents and learned from those who went before me to grasp the basic knowledge about the election process and better understand the rights and obligations of voters. By participating in this national festival, I feel more mature and responsible, and I believe that I have chosen to elect representatives with enough talent and virtue to the National Assembly and People's Councils..."

Le Cong Minh-Class 48, Faculty of Information Technology - Vinh University:

Although this is the second time I have held a ballot to vote, I still feel very excited. Following and learning, I see that through the election, the proportion of young candidates is increasing, which is a condition for the young generation to learn from the experience of the previous generation, thereby promoting their capacity and creativity, contributing to the development of the country, which is also a condition to improve the operational capacity of the National Assembly and People's Councils.

As a student, I really hope that this election will elect worthy representatives who care more about the youth, especially the learning life of students. Listen to the aspirations and convey to the National Assembly and People's Councils at all levels the issues that young voters care about such as careers, jobs, ethics, lifestyle of young people today, the quality of training in universities, colleges, vocational schools and the output for students after graduation"

Nguyen Thi Ha -(Class C1, Testing, Vinh Medical University):

I want to exercise my civic rights well in this election. I voted for truly talented and virtuous people, including young candidates.

I hope that after being elected, the candidates will carry out their action programs well, practice what they preach; be closely connected with voters, especially student voters. Participate in contributing many valid opinions to the National Assembly and People's Council to solve important issues of the country and the province, including issues related to today's youth, especially programs on ethics and lifestyle education; sex education; reproductive health care for adolescents in general and youth union members who are students in particular.
