The claim
期日前投票には本人確認が不要?
Original review summary
The review says identity checks are conducted for early voting using the same procedures as on election day, including checking the voter list against the voter’s details. However, showing photo ID is not mandatory, and the review notes that errors have occurred.[S1]
Additional context
In an incident during the 2024 House of Representatives election, Ayase City officials mistakenly issued a ballot to a foreign national after the person’s date of birth matched that of an eligible voter. The review says the mistaken ballot was cast on October 24, 2024. [S1]
