A system called election public administration is stipulated in laws and regulations to ensure that the election campaign of those who are going to run for can be conducted fairly. There are several types of election public administrations, but here we will introduce the so-called public expenditure system.

[Conditions for public expenditure]
The public expenditure is not something that can be received if you run for the candidate, but will not be received unless you get a vote equal to or higher than the confiscation point (Note 4).
In addition, you must sign a paid contract between the candidate and the trader, and notify the Election Commission of the ward.
