Public announcement date

Tuesday, October 15, 2024

Voting date and time

Sunday, October 27, 2024, 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Due to a partial amendment to the Public Offices Election Act that came into effect in December 2022, the electoral district of Inagi City was changed from Tokyo's 21st and 22nd districts to the 30th district. The 30th district consists of the three cities of Fuchu, Tama, and Inagi. Please be careful not to make a mistake with the candidates, as the candidates are different depending on the electoral district.

In the House of Representatives election, the following people who are eligible to vote in Inagi City are those born before October 28, 2006.
(1) Those who have filed a moving-in notification by July 14, 2024 and continue to live in Inagi City Note: Those who filed a moving-in notification after July 15, 2024 cannot vote in Inagi City. Please contact your previous address.
(2) Those who have moved out after four months (June 14, 2024) prior to the registration date for the voter roll (October 14, 2024) and who have been continuously registered in the Inagi City Basic Resident Register for more than three months prior to the move.

Note: If you are registered on the electoral roll at your new address, you will be able to vote at your new address. Also, if you move out four months later, you will be removed from the electoral roll and will not be able to vote. If you are unsure where you can vote, please contact us.

If you are registered on the city's voter roll, have moved address within the city, and notified us by October 1, 2024, you can vote at the polling station for your new address.

In addition, admission tickets for all members of the same household will be sent in a single envelope by mail based on the records in the Basic Resident Register.
When you vote, please bring your admission ticket and check your polling station before going out.

Due to the sudden dissolution of the Diet, the time for preparation for the election has been very short, so there is likely to be delays in the delivery of polling station entry tickets .
If you have not received your admission ticket, or if it has become dirty or lost, you can still vote as long as your name is confirmed on the voter list. Please inform the reception desk at your polling station when you vote.
