Proposal not to take a vote of confidence for people being treated for serious illnesses

The National Assembly Standing Committee asked the National Assembly for its opinion on not taking a vote of confidence for people treating serious illnesses who have been off work for 6 months or more.

This is one of the new points in the draft Resolution of the National Assembly on taking a vote of confidence and voting for confidence in people holding positions elected or approved by the National Assembly or People's Council.

The content was supplemented through summarizing the practice of taking votes of confidence and comments from many agencies; it was agreed upon by the majority of opinions of the National Assembly Standing Committee.

The draft also stipulates that those who are not eligible for a vote of confidence include those who have announced their resignation, are waiting for retirement, announced their retirement, or have been appointed or elected in the year of the vote of confidence.

According to regulations, the National Assembly takes a vote of confidence for the President, Vice President; Chairman of the National Assembly, Vice Chairmen of the National Assembly, members of the National Assembly Standing Committee, Chairman of the Council of Nationalities, Chairmen of the National Assembly Committees, Secretary General of the National Assembly; Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Ministers, Ministers, other members of the Government; Chief Justice of the Supreme People's Court, Chief Prosecutor of the Supreme People's Procuracy and State Auditor General.

The People's Council shall take a vote of confidence for the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the People's Council, the Heads of the People's Council's Committees; the Chairman, Vice Chairmen of the People's Committee and members of the People's Committee. In case a person simultaneously holds multiple positions subject to a vote of confidence, the vote of confidence shall be taken once for all positions.

The vote of confidence is taken by secret ballot. The ballot clearly states the full names and positions of those who are voted on with the levels of "high confidence", "confidence", "low confidence". According to the draft, cadres who are rated "low confidence" by more than half to less than 2/3 of the total number of delegates must resign within 10 days from the date of announcement of the results of the vote of confidence.

Thus, the new draft has more clearly defined the time limit for implementing consequences for those who are subject to a vote of confidence and the results of the vote of confidence are used to evaluate officials, not just for "reference in evaluating officials" as before.

The National Assembly's resolution was developed to institutionalize the policy of taking a vote of confidence and voting for confidence as defined in Party documents and laws, ensuring the principle of the Party's unified leadership of personnel work. On June 9, the draft resolution will be discussed by the National Assembly in the hall and voted for approval on the afternoon of June 23.
