Q. I wanted to go to vote, but I lost the "voting guide". What should I do?
A. a
If you have a "voting guide", you can accept it smoothly, but even if you lose it, you can vote if you can verify your identity from Address, name and date of birth. (I don't need identification documents.)
If you have any questions or concerns, ask the Election Commission of your ward.
Q. The early vote has begun, but I haven't received anything like a newspaper yet. What should I do?
A. a or b
The official name of a newspaper-like one is the "election bulletin." The Election Bulletin will be sent to all households by the Election Commission two days before the election date, so it may not have arrived yet on the day immediately after the early vote began. . However, you can also browse from the website of the Election Commission, so if you want to see it early, check the website.
Q. I haven't moved to resident certificate, so I can't vote even if there is an election in the area where I live now. However, it's troublesome to return to the hometown and don't have to go to the election?
A. a or b
If you haven't moved to resident certificate, you can vote by using "absentee voting"! For how to do it, check pages 11 to 12 of Hata's voting book.
If you have not moved to resident certificate, proceed as soon as possible (see page 15). Three months after moving resident certificate, you will be able to vote in the new Address area after moving.
Q. I have an errand on the voting day, so let's go to the early vote. Oh, but I can't make it because the part-time job is until 19:00?…。
A. a
Early voting can be done at the ward office of your ward or at the temporary early polling place in the ward. Extraordinary early polling places in the ward have different times for each ward, but since the ward office accepts all wards until 8:00 pm, let's go to vote without giving up.
Q. In the future, I would like to become a prefectural governor and revolutionize the local community. How old can I run for you?
A. b
The prefectural governor's right to vote is over 30 years old. Everybody can run for ten years later.
Sovereign education video
When I started to have the right to vote at the age of 18, I created a video in cooperation with the Board of Education to get high school students interested in politics and elections.
