Q. I wanted to go to the poll, but I lost my "voting guidance". What should I do?

A. a
 With "voting guidance", reception can be done smoothly, but even if you lose it, you can vote if you can verify your identity from Address, name and date of birth, you can vote. (I don't need any personal identification documents.)
 If you have any questions or doubts, ask the Election Commission of your ward.

Q. The early vote has begun, but the newspaper hasn't arrived yet. What should I do?

A. a or b
 The official name of a newspaper like a newspaper 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 voting has begun. However, you can browse it from the Election Commission's website, so if you want to see it early, please check the website.

Q. I haven't moved to resident certificate, so I can't vote even if I have an election in my area. But it's troublesome to return to my hometown, don't I have to go to the election?

A. a or b
 If you haven't moved to resident certificate, you can vote by using "absentee vote"! For how to do it, check the pages 11 to 12 of Hata's Voting Book.
 If you have not moved to resident certificate, proceed with the procedure as soon as possible (see page 15). Three months have passed since you moved resident certificate, you will be able to vote in your new Address area.

Q. There's an errand on the voting day, so let's go to the early vote. Oh, but the part-time job is until 19 o'clock, I wonder if I can't make it in time…。

A. a
 Early voting can be done at the ward office of your ward or at the temporary early polling place in the ward. Temporary 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 want to become a prefectural governor and revolutionize local communities. How old can I run for my job?

A. b
 The governor's right to vote is over 30 years old. Everyone will be able to run for the next ten years.
