About promotion of parent-child voting
Voting with parents can lead to children's future voting.
Due to the revision of the Public Office Election Law in 2016 (2016), the range of children who can be taken to polling places has been expanded from "infants" to "under 18 years old".
Surveys have shown that those who have gone to elections with their parents as children are more likely to participate in voting when they become voters than those who do not.
In the case of election, why don't you go to vote with your child?
