It is one of the measures to be taken to ensure safety against Covid-19 during the most important political event of the year, scheduled to take place on Sunday May 23.
Voters and election officials can fill in health declaration forms directly at polling stations or via mobile apps such as Vietnam Health Declaration, Bluezone or Ncovi on their smartphones.
Those involved in the elections are also required to wear masks and have their body temperatures checked before entering election zones.
Depending on the number of voters in each constituent and the local Covid-19 situations, voting hours will be staggered to ensure that there will not be too high a concentration of voters at any time.
Election officials must inform voters in their constituents about the staggering plans on the election day.
The voting hours are from 7am to 7pm. Depending on the local situation; the polls can open earlier, but not before 5am, and close later, but not after 9pm.
