FACTORS INFLUENCING THE ELECTION RATES OF PROVINCIAL PEOPLE’S COUNCILS (2021-2026 TERM)

Abstract

Using multivariate analysis, the paper investigates the impact of socio-demographic characteristics of candidates on the likelihood of being elected to the provincial People’s Council for the 2021-2026 term based on data on the list of candidates and elected to the provincial People’s Council for the 2021-2026 term of 63 provinces and cities and in-depth interview data in Hanoi for the topic “Some gender issues in the election of the provincial People’s Council for the 2021-2026 term”. The analysis results show that there is a gender difference in the likelihood of being elected to the People’s Council, with male candidates being more likely to be elected than female candidates. The likelihood of being elected of candidates is proportional to age, professional qualifications, and theoretical qualifications. The group of candidates with professional positions as leaders and managers is more likely to be elected than other groups of candidates. Factors such as resource preparation, gender bias, constituency arrangement, candidate capacity, and candidate determination are factors that significantly influence the candidates’ ability to win the election
