We staffed the Adachi Election Administration Commission's booth at the fifth Kasa Festival, held at Bunkyo University's Adachi campus.
We ran ring toss and target games for visitors, mostly families, and held a sticker-design election for the commission's mascot using real polling equipment.
We will carry that energy on, working to make politics something people our own age treat as theirs.

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.
