It looks like Nishinomiya and Kobe guessed right on the House of Councillors election poster board issue.

Nishinomiya and Kobe Set July 21 as Election Day and Vote Counting Day
According to yesterday’s report, election administration committees across Hyogo Prefecture were having a tough time over the candidate poster boards for this summer’s House of Councillors election.
The reason was that the election schedule had not been finalized.
So it seems the election administration committees in Nishinomiya City and Kobe City went ahead and made the boards by deciding, “Alright, July 21 for voting and ballot counting!”

So, What Happened?
It seems today’s report confirmed that voting and ballot counting will take place on the 21st.(Well, it had been expected, so it wasn’t exactly a bold prediction, but there had apparently also been rumors of a simultaneous House of Representatives and House of Councillors election.)
Those involved must have been relieved.
If it had ended up being a different date, they would have had to do something like cover it with stickers, which would have been a lot of work.
By the way, Amagasaki City apparently left the voting date blank instead of writing it in.
Ashiya City’s board also didn’t have the voting date written on it, so I wonder what will happen there.

Finally
It’s interesting how each city’s election administration committee handles things differently. For now, Nishinomiya got lucky.
