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 before voting on the day and vote.

<Those who can vote early>

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

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

You can vote for absentees in the following cases.

• Voting at the municipal election committee where you are staying
• Voting at facilities such as hospitals and nursing homes
• Absentee voting by mail

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

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