We, the members, have come up with an ideal way to vote and an ideal place to vote that would make it easier for people to go to the polls.
So what ideal vote do students and adults have in mind?
A survey was sent to our school's students and teachers, and our families!
・Internet Voting
・Rewards after voting (e.g., coupons)
・Vote at the convenience stores, schools, companies, shopping malls, etc.
These were mentioned.
The majority opinion was voting online.
I knew that people were too lazy to go all the way out of their homes.
In this case, it would be easier for people who are injured or disabled to vote.
Woman in her 50s: Polling place close to home or can vote at home
Male in his 50s: On my phone.
Woman in her 20s:Internet poll
Woman in her 70s: I don't want to do it on the internet, I want to go to the polling place and vote, or I can vote before the deadline.
Woman in her 50s:Vote for anything.
These were mentioned.
Online voting by using own's smartphones and other devices was mentioned by many.
In particular, there was a suggestion that the current identification of the applicant against the electoral roll should be linked to his/her "My number", while maintaining anonymity.
On the other hand, older voters mentioned that they would prefer to actually go to the polling place to vote because it is difficult to vote online.
Instead of shifting completely to online voting, why not just allow people to choose one or the other?
40s:Internet poll
50s:Internet poll
20s:At home
50s:At home
30s:Schools, stations, internet (To be linked to "My number")
These were mentioned.
Many mentioned to vote online, which can be done at home.
They also answered familiar places such as schools and train stations.
We surveyed people of all ages and found that most wanted to vote online.
We found many of the same responses as we had discussed. Also, we thought that if these voices could lead to reforms in the way people vote, voting would become more familiar to them and turnout would gradually increase.
On the other hand, some elderly people said that the Internet was difficult to use, and it was necessary to come up with a system that would be easy for all to use.
