宮城県知事選で投票用紙が盗まれる？選挙不正?
Original review summary
The review says the Miyagi Prefectural Election Commission reported no ballot theft in connection with the October 26, 2025 gubernatorial election. It also says that the separate loss of election-related funds in Natori City did not involve ballots, and that early-voting figures did not indicate fraud.[S1]
Additional context
Natori City announced on October 27 that about ¥710,000 in funds set aside for election expenses was missing; the review says the prefectural commission confirmed that ballot counts in Natori were proper. [S1]
