He asked the VFF bodies at all levels to draw lessons and seek measures to improve their working efficiency at the next elections.
According to the National Election Council, on the election day, 67,049,091 out of 67,485,428 eligible voters nationwide, or 99.35 percent, went to the polls. Localities with high voting rate included Gia Lai, Quang Nam, Thua Thien-Hue, Tra Vinh and Yen Bai with 99.99 percent, followed by Hoa Binh with 99.98 percent and Ben Tre, 99.97 percent.
As many as 78 members of central and local bodies of the VFF succeeded at the votes, two more people than the previous tenure, accounting for 15.73 percent of the total elected NA deputies nationwide.
