About enlightenment activities

The Kanazawa Ward Bright Election Promotion Council aims to raise awareness of politics and elections, and to hold bright and clean elections without fraud.
Please refer to "Kanazawa Meishokyo Nyusu" for details of the activities.

We exhibit election enlightenment booths at cultural festival of high schools and universities in the city and inhabitants' festivals, and hold mock elections (character elections).
We have children who are future voters participate in the mock election and have them experience the election.

This is a business that provides opportunities for future voters and young people, such as elementary, junior high and high school students, to think about political and election issues through on-site classes and lectures, and to discuss and discuss issues.
In Kanazawa Ward, we give lectures at Municipal Junior High School in the ward to raise awareness of social participation among junior high school students and promote participation in politics and elections in the future.

Kanazawa Ward election mascot "Ikoara"

• The Kanazawa Ward Bright Election Promotion Council solicited illustrations and names of mascots from residents to establish the Kanazawa Ward Election Mascot.
• As a result, there were a total of 92 entries, of which 5 excellent works were selected after strict examination. Then, at each election enlightenment event held in the fall of 2008, a popular vote was held, and "Ikoara" was selected as the best work!
• "Ikoara" is a work by Yumi Kato, who lives in the ward, designed with the image of Kanazawa Ward, which is blessed with nature full of greenery. The top of the head represents the beautiful sea waves of Kanazawa Ward, and the feather-shaped ears represent the image of fluttering toward a bright future.
• "Ikoara" is active in various election enlightenment events. Thank you very much!
