The counting of votes for the first half of the unified local elections has begun. We will report on the gubernatorial elections in nine prefectures and the mayoral elections of six ordinance-designated cities in a timeline format.

In addition, we will update the status of vote counting in the prefectural assembly election and ordinance city council election, which are attracting attention, and the seats won by each party as needed. The results of exit polls will also be included in the timeline format, as well as the results of polls.
