Members appeared in a special issue of Senkyo Shiki, published by the Adachi Election Administration Commission.
The leaflet sets out how elections work in plain terms, and we worked on the pages, design included, so that residents our own age would understand where things stand and how to vote.
It goes to Adachi residents who have just become voters, by post and at coming-of-age ceremonies. Do have a look.

A student organization working on civic education and teenage participation in public life, driven by the gap in who gets opportunities. Our mission: every teenager should get to meet the person they have not yet become. Around forty high school and university students from Tokyo and the three neighbouring prefectures run it. Our programs include the Mock Ward Mayoral Election — held in the ward office and the assembly chamber, taking participants from drafting policy through candidacy to the count — and Osouji-tai, which builds a sense of ownership over shared space through cleaning. More than 1,000 people have now learned how democracy feels from the inside.
