How to vote

Elections are based on voting at polling places on election dates (voting dates). This is called the polling place voting principle on the day of voting.
Here, we will introduce how to vote at the polling place on the day of the voting day.
Voting time is from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

As the election approaches, a "voting guide" will be mailed to households with those who can vote.

The "Voting Guide" lists the voting date, the time you can vote, and the designated polling place, so check carefully and go to the polling place with your own.

We submit "guidance of vote" to reception desk and receive confirmation whether it is listed in electoral list.

If you do not receive or lose your voting information, you can still vote if you can ask your Address, name and date of birth and verify your identity. I don't need any ID.

You will receive a ballot in exchange for the confirmed "voting guide". At this time, I will explain how to vote.

There is a pencil on the ballot entry table, and there is a list of candidates' names etc. on the front.

Check carefully and list one candidate who wants to vote from the list on the ballot.

(Note) Depending on the election, the name of the political party, not the personal name, may be listed.

Put the ballot in the ballot box. This is the end of the vote.

(Note) Some elections may be held together. In that case, you will get a ballot for each election and repeat the vote.

The polling place is designated by Address where you live. If you want to know your polling place, please check this page.
