The unified local elections, which are held once every four years, will be held on September 4 for gubernatorial elections in nine prefectures, mayoral elections for six ordinance-designated cities, and elections for prefectural assemblies. Each party aims to increase its seats in order to expand its power, with local councillors as the core of the national election campaign.
On the 41th, the last day of the campaign, each candidate and party took to the streets to make a final appeal to voters to support them.
