Delegates decide on the level of confidence after studying work performance reports, asset declarations, monitoring task performance and the spirit of daring to think and dare to do of officials.
On the morning of October 25, National Assembly deputies held a secret ballot to express their confidence in 44 positions elected or approved by the National Assembly, with the results of the vote being announced the same afternoon. This is the fourth time the National Assembly has conducted a vote of confidence, following the years 2013, 2014, and 2018.
The plan for the vote of confidence at the 6th session was announced to delegates early. The new point is that in addition to declaring assets, the person who is voted for the vote of confidence also self-evaluates and comments on his/her work process in the past. These documents are all sent to National Assembly delegates for study, and are one of the bases for deciding the level of confidence.
Spending a lot of time carefully reviewing the reports, Associate Professor Nguyen Chu Hoi (former Deputy Director General of the General Department of Sea and Islands) assessed that the information provided helped delegates have a more comprehensive, complete, accurate, and multi-dimensional view. The delegate from Hai Phong City was especially interested in the specific products and results in the work of the leaders who were voted for.
"I will evaluate in the context of general difficulties and advantages, but how each position has handled it, what is new, and how their achievements have impacted the situation of the country or the industry," Associate Professor Nguyen Chu Hoi shared.

Delegate Pham Trong Nghia (Director of the National Assembly’s Center for Legislative Science Information) also spent a lot of time monitoring the practical performance of those who were voted for. He said that he would give a confidence level based on work results, reflected in the implementation of tasks assigned by the National Assembly and the Government to each sector and field.
"The volume, quality, progress of the work, its impact, and its practical effectiveness are all measured and weighed by me based on the level of task completion," said Mr. Nghia.
In addition, he also listened to people's opinions reflecting on the activities of officials. Any areas that voters appreciated, or any areas that voters were not satisfied with, were compiled as information to serve the credit rating.
"The reports on work results from the beginning of the term of the senior officials who were voted for by the delegates were all objective and complete. Some people detailed their own limitations and weaknesses and solutions for the coming time," Mr. Nghia shared.

Delegate Le Thanh Hoan (in charge of the Law Committee) said he would base his assessment on the level of daring to think and act of the officials and synthesize information from many different sources to make the most objective and impartial assessment. As for the leaders of the Judiciary, he would base his assessment on the results of monitoring prosecution and trial activities.
Taking a vote of confidence helps leaders self-reflect and self-correct.
Participating in the second vote of confidence for positions elected and approved by the National Assembly, Professor Nguyen Anh Tri (Hanoi delegation) assessed that this was a very important activity in the parliament. "Taking a vote of confidence at the National Assembly is carried out by the highest authority on behalf of the people and voters, so it is very necessary for leaders and heads of sectors to self-examine, self-examine, and self-correct," Professor Tri said, believing that regardless of the confidence rate, this has great significance for the positions being voted on to try harder and make more efforts in their work.
When the vote count results are announced, leaders with high confidence will be more excited and confident because of the good work they have done in the past and will continue to promote it. Those with low confidence votes "are a reminder to try harder and make more efforts when performing their duties".
"Through the 2018 vote of confidence, I saw that many leaders have changed in a more positive and progressive direction," Mr. Tri assessed.

Agreeing, Associate Professor Nguyen Chu Hoi emphasized that the positions that are subject to a vote of confidence are important leaders of the country. Therefore, this activity helps them review the results, limit the first half of their term and the trust of voters through the votes of National Assembly deputies.
"The delegates' evaluation prism is very clear, impartial, and objective, and will help leaders better fulfill their duties and responsibilities before the Party, State, and people in the remaining half of their term," Mr. Hoi believes.
According to Mr. Le Thanh Hoan, any leader or head of any sector, whether belonging to the National Assembly, Government, or Judiciary, has made efforts to demonstrate themselves since the beginning of their term, not just during the preparation period for voting. "There is no such thing as this ministry or that sector receiving more attention, because all are under the supervision of the National Assembly," Mr. Hoan stated his opinion.
According to Resolution 96, if the person being voted for has more than half to less than 2/3 of the total votes rated as "low confidence", he/she can resign or the National Assembly Standing Committee will conduct a vote of confidence (with two levels of confidence and no confidence). The person being voted for has 2/3 of the total votes rated as "low confidence", will be presented to the National Assembly for dismissal or approval of the proposal for dismissal. Therefore, the value of these votes of confidence "has direct significance to the cadres".
"Previous confidence vote results reflected the work results of the sector leaders. Officials who received many low confidence votes later made efforts to create changes in practice," Mr. Pham Trong Nghia shared.
On the afternoon of October 24, the 15th National Assembly approved a list of 44 people to receive a vote of confidence at the 6th session.
The National Assembly conducted a vote of confidence three times in June 2013, November 2014 and October 2018, by secret ballot with three levels of confidence: high confidence, confidence and low confidence . In all three times, no one received more than 50% low confidence.
