Storage period
Due to the partial revision of the Basic Resident Register Act Enforcement Order (enforced on June 20, 2019), the retention period for unvoked votes has been increased to 150 years.
The previous retention period was five years from the year the vote was deleted, so Inagi City cannot issue certificates that were deleted before March 31, 2014.
