At the meeting, the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council also assessed the results of activities in October; discussed and agreed on tasks for November 2023; and reported on people's petition work in October 2023.
Regarding the work of people's petitions, the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council assessed: The Provincial People's Committee, departments, branches and localities focused on studying, receiving, resolving and responding to voters' opinions and recommendations before, during and after the 14th session of the Provincial People's Council, basically ensuring compliance with regulations, resolving many difficult and pressing issues in practice, creating positive changes, meeting voters' legitimate aspirations.
The work of receiving citizens, receiving and handling complaints and denunciations of the Provincial People's Council has many clear changes, the quality is increasingly improved. Most of the contents of complaints, denunciations, and recommendations of citizens are summarized, transferred to competent agencies, urged to resolve promptly, in accordance with regulations. Coordinate well with the Standing Committee of the People's Council, People's Committees of localities, proactively grasp the actual situation as well as regulations on handling complaints, denunciations and recommendations of citizens. Strengthen monitoring, reviewing, urging and supervising competent agencies to resolve citizens' complaints, thereby enhancing the responsibility of all levels and sectors in resolving complaints, contributing to protecting the legitimate rights and interests of citizens.
However, there are still some shortcomings in the content of responses to voters before, during and after the 14th Session, which are not focused, and have not provided specific solutions and time for resolution; the resolution progress is still slow and prolonged; there are still 2 units that have not yet responded in writing to and resolved voters' petitions via the online telephone line at the 14th Session of the 18th Provincial People's Council; at the same time, 11 units have not yet responded in writing to petitions sent by the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council in July, August and September.
Regarding agencies and units that are slow to respond and resolve voters' petitions sent by the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Council Nguyen Nhu Khoi said that the current difficulty is that there are no sanctions; therefore, he proposed that the Provincial People's Committee amend Decision No. 25/2019/QD promulgating the Regulations on receiving, resolving and responding to voters' petitions in the province to have appropriate sanctions, in order to enhance responsibility in this matter.
Regarding the key tasks in November 2023, the Provincial Party Secretary and Chairman of the Provincial People's Council requested careful preparation for the summary of Party and professional work; at the same time, requested the Provincial People's Committee to promptly prepare reports, submissions, and draft resolutions to submit to the year-end meeting of 2023 scheduled to be held from December 4-6.

Regarding the work of people's petitions in particular and other activities in general, the Chairman of the People's Council of Nghe An province also requested to continue to carry out the digital transformation of the activities of the Provincial People's Council; especially focusing on building software to manage, classify, monitor and handle voters' petitions and feedback; at the same time, assign the Office of the Provincial People's Council to synthesize the units that respond to and resolve voters' petitions to present at the Provincial People's Council forum.
