At the early voting place in Shizuoka City, where the by-elections of the House of Representatives and the early voting of the House of Representatives election are held at the same time, the staff in charge of one voter mistakenly reissued the admission ticket for the Lower House election, and double voting was done. There was a mistake made.
According to the Election Administration Committee of Aoi Ward, Shizuoka City, at around noon on the 21st, at the early voting place set up at the Shizuoka City Hall, one elderly voter who visited the vote was in charge of the admission ticket for the House of Councilors election. The staff of the House of Councilors mistakenly assumed that it was an admission ticket for the supplementary election in the Shizuoka constituency of the House of Councilors, and reissued the admission ticket for the House of Councilors election.
Due to this mistake, the voter was twice guided to vote in the House of Representatives election and voted twice.
According to the Election Commission, voting is managed by the system, and an error message is displayed on the screen when the second vote is visited, but the staff does not check the screen. It means that.
When checking the number of ballots performed on time, a mistake was discovered because it was different from the number of people accepted, so the Election Commission cannot distinguish double-voted votes from other votes, so it is a valid vote. It is supposed to be treated as.
The Election Commission said that the overlap of the early voting periods of the two national elections led to a mistake. The person in charge thought that it had not arrived, so I issued it twice. In the future, I would like to thoroughly prevent recurrence by checking the error message with multiple staff members. "
