On-site classes for elections
On-site classes where you can learn about elections while having fun
The staff of the Election Commission goes to educational institutions such as elementary and junior high schools and high schools to give lectures on elections.
We will explain the importance of the election system and election in an easy-to-understand manner, using PowerPoint and quizzes.
Mock election
You can experience voting and counting.
Under the theme of desserts to be delivered to school lunch, we will listen to the candidates' speeches and election bulletins, and hold a mock voting to vote as if they were in production.
You will be able to bring ballot boxes, entry stands, and counting machines used in actual elections, so you can understand the structure of the election from voting to counting while experiencing it.
As we carry out according to needs of each school including election theme and class time, please feel free to refer to Kohoku Ward Election Administration Committee (045-540-2213).
Please note that we may not be able to respond to requests during the election period. .

About promotion of parent-child voting
Voting with parents and children will lead to children's future voting.
Due to the revision of the Public Office Election Law in 2016, the range of children who can be taken to polling places has been expanded from "infants" to "under 18 years old".
Survey results show that those who have been elected with their parents as children have a higher rate of participating in voting when they become voters than those who do not have them.
At the time of election, why don't you go to vote with your child?
