Along with tens of millions of voters across the country, on March 15 voters in Dak Lak province cast their ballots to elect deputies to the 16th National Assembly and People’s Councils at all levels for the 2026 - 2031 tenure.
From early morning, polling stations from urban neighbourhoods to remote villages, across the highlands down to coastal areas, welcomed voters arriving neatly dressed and ready to exercise their civic rights. Red flags fluttering in the wind, together with orderly lines of people waiting to vote created a lively atmosphere reflecting the people’s sense of responsibility and confidence in the country’s future.
