Following the second consultative meeting, the commune compiled a list of 40 candidates for the commune People's Council. The voter list has been posted at the commune center, all 63 village cultural centers, and all 36 polling stations. Preparations for the polling stations have been reviewed to ensure adequate facilities for election day; security and order plans have been developed and implemented as scheduled.
In Phu Binh commune, the commune's Election Committee has posted the list of 39 candidates for the commune People's Council; and completed the posting of the voter list with a total of over 31,600 voters.

At the inspection sites, the inspection and supervision team acknowledged and highly appreciated the proactive spirit and responsibility of the Party committees and local authorities in the communes in implementing election preparation tasks, especially given that these localities are all mountainous communes with a large ethnic minority population and limited infrastructure. They also noted that the localities must post the lists of candidates and voters in easily visible locations, convenient for the public to view.
