In the election campaign in which 22 people, the largest number in the past, ran, there was a debate over measures against the new coronavirus and response to the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, which were postponed for one year.

On the other hand, during the election period, new infections were confirmed in Tokyo one after another, and the candidates refrained from holding meetings and shaking hands, and the Election Commission also avoided crowding people at polling stations. As a result, it was an exceptional election campaign that encouraged active use of early voting.

According to the Tokyo Metropolitan Election Commission, the number of people who voted early by the 3rd is about 1.38 million, which is 12% of all voters, an increase of about 60,000 compared to the previous time.

Voting will be held from 7:00 am at over 1,800 polling stations in Tokyo, the deadline will be closed by 8:00 pm, and the votes will be cast on the same day.
