Election of voting paper to a man who is not registered as an elector in the Governor of Taito City
In the Tokyo Governor's election, where votes were cast and voted on the 5th, it was discovered that Taito Ward mistakenly handed out a ballot to a man who did not have a registered electoral vote.
According to Taito Ward, a man who visited a polling place in the ward did not have the notice of the election to be mailed in advance at about 11:00 am on the 5th, so I checked with a computer whether it was registered in the electoral list. , Was not registered.
In this election, only those who have moved in by mid-March this year will not be registered in the list and cannot vote at polling stations in the city.
However, the two staff in charge confirmed that a man had moved to Taito Ward from another ward in Tokyo in the middle of May from his driver's license, and he misunderstood that he could vote and handed the ballot. That is.
The staff in charge then consulted with their boss and discovered a mistake.
When the ward confirmed the man who voted, the man was not registered in the electoral list in another ward where he lived before, but it is treated as a valid vote because the ballot cannot be specified is.
The Taito Ward Election Commission says, "We are very sorry that it caused voters to worry about their voting work. We will strive to prevent recurrence and restore trust."
