Binh Phu is subject to the administrative unit arrangement in the period of 2025 - 2030, however, it is an adjacent unit with administrative boundary adjustment when implementing the administrative unit arrangement plan, so the arrangement will be implemented in the period of 2023 - 2025.
According to Mr. Tran Thanh Hai - Chairman of Binh Phu Commune People's Committee, basically, Binh Phu commune people attended and gave their opinions fully. Voters exercised their rights and obligations according to Article 13 of Decree No. 54 dated April 16, 2018 of the Government on guidelines for collecting voters' opinions on the establishment, dissolution, merger, division, and adjustment of administrative unit boundaries.
“For those who do not come to the consultation point, the list will be reviewed and compiled, and the task assigned to self-management teams will be sent to each household to collect their opinions. We will prioritize cases of illness and those who cannot travel, then other households,” said Mr. Hai.
In Binh Dinh Nam commune, voter Nguyen Quang Moi (Chau Xuan village) said that the merger should facilitate the settlement of administrative procedures and adjustment of citizens' documents. The arrangement of schools and medical stations should also be appropriate, creating convenience for students and people; the arrangement of redundant staff after the merger, especially non-professional staff, should be calculated reasonably.
For Binh Dinh Bac commune, more than 3,700 voters (1,400 households) participated in the poll. Among them were a number of students and workers working far away.
