About this page

This page reports on a high court ruling declaring that banning incarcerated persons from voting is unconstitutional. A man convicted of fraud and later released on parole sued to be registered on voter rolls. The Takamatsu District Court found that the Public Offices Election Law violates Articles 15 and 44 of the Constitution. The court noted that most inmates have committed crimes unrelated to elections, and the electoral commission's argument that they cannot exercise voting rights fairly lacks concrete basis. The Supreme Court's Grand Bench is expected to make a constitutional judgment on a similar case.
