About this page
This page explains voting procedures and mechanisms on Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications website. Polling stations open at 7 AM and close at 8 PM, though local election commissions can adjust times in special circumstances. Voting entrance tickets are convenient but not required; personal identification documents can expedite the process. Children and caregivers may accompany voters. The standard voting method is self-written ballots, though some regions use symbol-marking ballots. Alternative voting methods including proxy voting and Braille voting are available. Electronic voting machines have been introduced in local elections. Different election types, particularly House of Representatives and House of Councillors proportional representation elections, use different voting methods requiring voter attention.
