The claim

東京都知事選の投票率は40%弱、6割の人が投票していない

Original review summary

The review finds the claim misleading: the figure below 40% referred to election-day turnout, not the overall turnout. Including early voting, turnout in the July 7, 2024 Tokyo gubernatorial election was 60.62%.[S1]

Additional context

The reported turnout at 6 p.m. on election day was about 33%, but that figure excluded early voting. [S1]
