The claim
「沖縄県知事選3ヶ月前から那覇市だけでも100人以上人口増」は不正確
Original review summary
The review found that although Naha’s population rose temporarily, it was on an overall downward trend, having fallen by more than 1,000 people from the end of January through August. It also found that the voter registry count for the gubernatorial election was among the lowest in the preceding four and a half years.[S1]
Additional context
The review reports that Naha’s population increased by 399 people over two months from the end of March to the end of May, then declined through the end of August. [S1]
The review explains that voter registry counts can temporarily rise because registration and removal of departing residents follow different timelines. [S1]
