Before and after the 8th session of the Provincial People's Council, the Provincial People's Council delegates met with voters at 45 locations in the centers of communes, wards, towns, villages and residential groups. Through meetings with voters, the Provincial People's Council Standing Committee received 118 petitions from voters and forwarded them to the Provincial People's Committee to direct agencies and units to consider, resolve and respond according to regulations.

Basically, petitions with sufficient basis and conditions for resolution have been resolved and responded to; petitions that cannot be resolved due to objective reasons have all been received and responded to specifically.

Provincial People's Council delegates give their opinions on the report on monitoring the settlement of voters' petitions.

The delegates clarified some issues and difficulties in the process of monitoring the settlement of voters' petitions. According to the delegates' assessment, the number of voters' petitions has gradually decreased over the years. Since the beginning of the term, there have been 974 petitions, a 30% decrease compared to previous terms, which shows that the positive changes in receiving and settling voters' petitions have been recognized.

In addition, through monitoring, it has also been shown that some recommendations are still low, especially those related to land and the issuance of land use right certificates. Although this is an area with a small number of recommendations, accounting for 18.3%, the number of recommendations resolved is low.

The delegates also pointed out some reasons for the slow resolution of proposals in the group of changes and adjustments due to limited propaganda work. The delegates also suggested that all levels and sectors need to pay attention to propaganda work to create consensus among the people, especially for site clearance and solving land-related issues.

Comrade Pham Manh Duyet, Director of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment, responded to delegates' opinions.

The opinions of the delegates were also directly answered and clarified by the Director of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment and the leader of the People's Committee of Son Duong district at the meeting.

The session passed a Resolution on handling voters' petitions before and after the 8th session of the 19th Provincial People's Council. The Resolution stated that the implementation of voters' petitions was of interest to the Provincial People's Committee and directed relevant departments, branches and units to implement; there were no cases where agencies, organizations and individuals under supervision failed to implement resolutions, conclusions and supervision recommendations.

The Provincial People's Council requests the Provincial People's Committee to pay attention to and continue to direct agencies, units, and localities to urgently implement and complete the conclusions and supervision recommendations of the Provincial People's Council, especially recommendations that have been directed to be resolved but have content that does not meet requirements, and need to continue to pay attention to and urgently direct implementation.
