On election day, those who are staying in municipalities outside of Inagi City due to business trips or travel will be eligible.
When you request a ballot from the Election Administration Commission of Inagi City, we will mail the complete set of ballots to your place of stay. You will then bring this set of ballots to the Election Administration Commission at your place of stay to vote. The form for the request (Absentee Voting Oath and Request Form) will be posted as the election approaches.
