To continue improving the quality, role and position of elected bodies and elected representatives, the Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Council requested the Standing Committee of the District People's Council to strengthen survey and information collection activities, based on "input" sources to organize quality activities, such as surveying information to know what resolutions need to be issued; requesting which departments and branches to explain and answer questions.

Pay attention to innovating and improving the quality of contact with voters by locality and field; organize regular and thematic meetings, paying attention to the time of holding regular meetings and including in the agenda of the regular year-end meeting the content of taking a vote of confidence for positions elected by the People's Council.

In the supervision activities, the Standing Committee of the People's Council at all levels should pay attention to reasonable coordination and sharing of information, avoiding overlapping supervision activities of the Party, State (audit, inspection), the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee and mass organizations; especially avoiding causing trouble for the supervised agencies and units.

Focus on following up and urging the implementation of conclusions and recommendations after supervision; it is possible to re-supervise the supervision contents, including the explanation activities of the Standing Committee of the People's Council.

2023 is the mid-term year, so monitoring activities need to focus on the implementation of resolutions and decisions issued by the People's Council from the beginning of the term until now.

Comrade Nguyen Nam Dinh also requested the Standing Committee of the District People's Council to pay attention to completing personnel in places where there are vacancies in the People's Council's offices, ensuring human resources to serve the operation of the People's Council.

District People's Councils need to strengthen coordination with agencies at the same and higher levels for the common development of the locality.
