What is a bright election promotion council?

Icotjunia

The "Bright Election Promotion Council" is an organization that works as a volunteer with the aim of realizing a clean election without injustice and actively participating in voting by voters who are the basis of democracy.

A "bright election" is an election in which voters are willing to participate in voting with awareness as sovereigns, elections are held openly and properly, and our intentions are correctly reflected in politics. .

The council consists of promotion committee members recommended by representatives of each district in Kohoku Ward and PTA liaison councils, and promotion members recommended by Neighborhood Association and Neighborhood Associations in each district.

20 members of the Promotion Committee

Call for voting at the time of election (Myorenji Station)

At the time of election, we call on the streets, such as in front of the station or shopping streets, for the purpose of informing voters of the voting day and voting.
Even when there is no election, we are developing a variety of businesses so that inhabitants of the ward can be interested in politics and elections.
