　The right to vote is any Japanese citizen who is 18 years of age or older. However, it is necessary to be registered in the electoral list to vote even if you have the right to vote. Those who are registered in the electoral list are those who have been registered in the Basic Resident Register for at least three months after the resident certificate was created or the transfer notification was accepted.
　There are two types of registration in the electoral list: regular registration in March, June, September, and December, and election registration that determines the base date and registration date for each election.
