During the meeting, voters from the three communes and towns frankly raised many issues. Voters Nguyen Van Tung and Nguyen Van Thanh (Hoa Son) suggested that the current tiered electricity pricing system for residents is unconvincing and should be based on a single price, while businesses should be charged a different price. They argued that businesses profit from electricity, while residents simply use it for daily life.
Many voters in Hoa Son commune have petitioned regarding the road project from Hamlet 3 to the Hoa Son commune center. At the time of its initial implementation, residents had to demolish structures on their land and remove trees, but compensation procedures have not yet been completed.
Voter Le Hong Lien (Hoi Son) suggested that administrative procedures are still cumbersome, causing people to waste time. Voter Bui Quang Tho (Hoi Son) argued that allowances for village and hamlet officials are still low; and land management in the area still has many shortcomings.

After listening to the voters' opinions, representatives from the district leadership and provincial departments and agencies explained and answered the issues within their jurisdiction.

On behalf of the Provincial Delegation of National Assembly Deputies, Deputy Le Quang Huy - Vice Chairman of the National Assembly's Committee on Science and Technology - acknowledged the suggestions of voters from the three communes and towns in Anh Son district, explained some issues within his authority, and pledged to fully convey the voters' feedback to the National Assembly, the Government, and central ministries and agencies for resolution in the near future.
Regarding the issue of electricity prices, which most voters have raised concerns about, people must first be conscious of using electricity economically. The tiered electricity pricing system (currently divided into 6 tiers, each with a different price) is a general system approved by the Government; however, specific feedback will be considered and discussed.
Regarding the issue of attracting investment to Anh Son district to help create jobs and increase income for local people; the proposal on land management at the tea factory will be submitted to the provincial level for consideration.
Earlier, on behalf of the National Assembly delegation, delegate Le Quang Huy presented a summary of the results of the 9th session of the 14th National Assembly.
