Initiatives related to barrier-free polling places

In Yokohama-shi, we work on improvement of facilities and administration of polling place aiming at "creating environment that anyone can easily vote" so that all voters who came to vote can vote safely and safely.

• Creating an environment where everyone can vote easily(Yokohama Election Administration Committee)

If it is difficult to fill out the ballot on your own due to illness, injury, disability, etc., there is a "proxy voting" system in which a polling place staff fills out the ballot on behalf of the polling place and vote. The secrets of voting is strictly protected, so if you wish, please contact the polling place staff.

However, it is limited to those who can indicate the name of the candidate or political party you want to vote. In addition, accompanying family members cannot write on ballot papers.

If you are blind, you can vote in Braille. If you are going to vote in Braille, you can ask the staff and we will give you a ballot dedicated to Braille.
In addition, notices such as Braille devices and names (list of candidates and political parties names in Braille) are also available.

We attach Braille sticker of "date, type of election, polling place, contact information" to person who wants so that "voting guidance" can be understood as election information. If you wish, please apply to the Election Commission.
