Bringing election information to borderlands

ĐBP - Alongside their primary mission of protecting national sovereignty and border security, the Điện Biên provincial Border Guard forces have been actively coordinating with local party committees to intensify election dissemination.

This effort is designed to help voters clearly understand their rights, obligations, and responsibilities, ensuring they are ready to participate in the nation’s great political festival.

The Border Post of Huổi Puốc Border Gate, which manages nearly 42 kilometers of the Vietnam-Laos border in Mường Nhà commune, operates in a culturally rich area home to the Thái, Mông, Khơ Mú, and Tày ethnic groups. Recognizing that election dissemination is a vital political task, the unit’s officers frequently visit every village and household to disseminate election content. A standout feature of their strategy is the “Border Guard Megaphone” model, where mobile speakers follow soldiers to the deepest and most remote hamlets. To ensure no one is left behind, the information is broadcast in both the national language and local ethnic dialects, making it easily accessible for all residents.

Colonel Nguyễn Văn Ngô, head of the post, explains that because their jurisdiction is vast and many villages are isolated, the dissemination must be flexible and tailored to reality. By combining these mobile broadcasts with direct home visits, the soldiers ensure that the people grasp the significance of the election and their duty to participate in the upcoming vote.

In Nậm Kè commune, border guards are working closely with local authorities to review voter lists and monitor the regional situation. The unit has assigned specific officers to stay in the villages and collaborate with village elders and reputable figures to mobilize the community. Beyond information sharing, they are also assisting in the preparation of polling stations and maintaining order at these sites. Nguyễn Tiến Thành, Chairman of the Nậm Kè commune People’s Committee, shared that the active involvement of the border guards has allowed the commune to stay on schedule, with voters now eagerly anticipating March 15 to cast their ballots.

Through these efforts, the awareness of border residents regarding the rights and duties of voters has been significantly enhanced.

Meanwhile, in the border commune of Sín Thầu, a festive atmosphere has taken over as flags and banners line the roads from the commune center to residential areas. Senior Cpatain Đinh Công Kiên, Deputy Political Officer of the Leng Su Sìn Border Post, emphasized that security remains a top priority alongside dissemination. The unit has developed protection plans tailored to the local landscape, focusing on social order at polling stations and key border points. They are maintaining a state of combat readiness to prevent any violations of the law or attempts to exploit the election to cause instability. By coordinating with police, militia, and other agencies, the Leng Su Sìn station is ensuring that the “Great Festival of the Whole People” remains safe and successful.
