100% of the new commune names in Nghe An do not have sequential numbers.
96.92% of voters in Nghe An agreed with the proposed renaming, which would not use sequentially numbered district names, but instead use place names with traditional, cultural, and historical elements.
On the morning of May 8th, the Legal Affairs Committee of the Provincial People's Council held a review of a resolution to be submitted to the 29th session of the 18th Provincial People's Council.
Attending the meeting were comrades: Nguyen Nam Dinh - Member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Permanent Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Council; Nguyen Nhu Khoi - Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Council.
At this session, the Legal Affairs Committee of the Provincial People's Council reviewed the Resolution amending and supplementing some contents of Resolution No. 09/NQ-HĐND dated April 28, 2025 of the Provincial People's Council on the policy of rearranging commune-level administrative units in Nghe An province in 2025.
With the aim of revising names to be easier to read and remember, incorporating local historical place names, the Steering Committee for the reorganization of commune-level administrative units and local governments at two levels, and the Department of Interior Affairs have recently advised on soliciting opinions from voters regarding the naming of communes.
Following the adjustment of the numbering of communes according to the district names, 82 commune-level administrative units have now had their names adjusted.
Accordingly, the draft Resolution amends the names of 82 commune-level administrative units formed after the reorganization in Resolution No. 09/NQ-HĐND dated April 28, 2025, of the Provincial People's Council on the policy of reorganizing commune-level administrative units in Nghe An province in 2025.
