Abstract

<p>In recent year, reforms to improve the voting environment have been pushed forward to reduce the vote week. Some election management committees (EMC) in the depopulated area carry out support measures for people with limited access to the polling station. The aim of this paper is to clarify of the electoral administration of Japan using survey data for the EMC.</p><p>  According to our survey data, 13.1% of EMC carried it out in the 2016 election of House of Councilors. There is the concern of the EMC staff in the background of this. They who mind “cost” and “equitableness” are reluctant to introduce them. As a result of statistical analysis, we understood that it tended to be carried out in the municipalities with a high percentage of aged people which has experienced a merger. Support measures carried out at present have two characteristics. One is a transportation poor measure, another is an alternative corrective measure with the polling station decrease.</p><p>  In aged Japan, the vote week tends to increase. It is necessary for us to do research on substantive voting rights.</p>
