For those who need support with voting

Proxy Voting

If you are unable to write the name of the candidate on the ballot due to physical or other reasons, you can request assistance from the staff at the polling place, and they will help you cast your vote through proxy voting (writing on your behalf). However, family members accompanying you are not allowed to write on the ballot.
Additionally, proxy voting can also be conducted during early voting.

Braille Voting

Persons with visual impairments can vote using Braille.
If you wish to vote using Braille at the polling place, please inform the staff at the polling station, and they will provide you with a ballot marked for Braille voting. Additionally, Braille devices are also available at the polling place.
Furthermore, Braille voting can also be conducted during early voting.

Those who have a certain physical disability and hold a Physical Disability Certificate, as well as those who require nursing care level 5, can vote by mail while being absent from their residence. For details on the conditions and procedures for using this system, please see the page below.
