About the Regular Election for the House of Councillors
Voting on election day is from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Sunday, July 10.
About Early Voting
People who cannot go vote on the above date because of work or other plans, pregnancy or childbirth, moving, or other circumstances can use early voting.
When you go to vote early, you won’t be asked questions like “Why can’t you vote on election day?”, so don’t worry.
Here is the list of places where early voting is available↓

Please note that the available dates and times vary by 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 City where you can vote early. Any of them is OK!
・You can vote at any early voting location, regardless of where you live
・It’s OK not only on weekdays, but also on Saturdays and Sundays
On election day, you cannot vote anywhere other than your assigned polling place. With early voting, for example, you can vote “near your workplace” or “while you’re out shopping.” - You need to fill out an “Early Voting Declaration Form” before voting
The Early Voting Declaration Form is on the back of the voting admission ticket sent by mail, so you need to fill it out and bring it with you.
