About Early Voting

Please note that the available dates and times vary depending on the location.
The Difference Between Early Voting and Voting on Election Day
There are two main differences between early voting and voting on election day.
- There are 8 places in Nishinomiya where you can vote early. You can go to any of them!
・You can vote at any early voting location, regardless of where you live
・It’s available not only on weekdays but also on Saturdays and Sundays
On election day, you can only vote at your designated polling place. With early voting, for example, you can vote “near work” or “while out shopping.” - You need to fill out an “Early Voting Oath” before voting
The Early Voting Oath is on the back of the admission ticket sent by mail, so you’ll need to fill it out and bring it with you.
