Inagi City's single-seat constituency has been changed to Tokyo's 30th district.
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.

We will send you a polling place entrance numbered ticket

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.
You can vote without an admission ticket
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.
