Please bring your own "voting guidance" to you.

※You can vote without a "voting guidance".
In addition, there is no need to bring your identity verification documents.
※For those who wish, we will put a Braille sticker that translates the polling places, etc. in the "Voting Guide" sent at the time of election.

Early voting is a system in which those who are unable to go to the polling place on the voting day due to work or leisure can post it directly to the ballot box in the same way as voting on the day before voting on the day.

<Those who can vote early>

• If you have a job or school on the voting day
• When going out on a voting day, such as leisure or travel
• When walking is difficult due to illness, childbirth, physical disability, etc.
• Countermeasures against COVID-19 infection

<About the number of voters at the early polling place>
As the voting date gets closer, the number of voters tends to increase. Especially on Saturday the day before the voting, the early polling place is very crowded, so please cooperate with the distributed voting.

You can vote for absentees in the following cases.

• Voting in the municipality election committee of your accommodation
• Voting in facilities such as hospitals and nursing homes
• Absentee vote by mail

The polling place where you can vote on the day is determined by your Address.
You cannot vote outside of the designated polling place on the day.
In addition, please refrain from coming to each polling place by car.

You can see the location of the polling place on the day in your area in PDF format from the following.
