We staffed a civic education program at Tokyo Metropolitan Kohoku High School, run by the Chuo University society Vote at Chuo!! and the Adachi Election Administration Commission.
Around 320 second-year students voted for fictional candidates in a mock election on the future of elections themselves. Using real ballot papers and polling booths, students approaching voting age got a much clearer picture of what voting involves.
We will keep building something new alongside Vote at Chuo!!, who run outreach classes across Adachi and beyond.
