While the parliament has enacted a bill calling for decency in election campaign posters, Japan's efforts to prevent votes falling into chaos are starting to resemble a game of cat and mouse. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/03/28/japan/politics/election-campaign-posters/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #politics #2024tokyogubernatorialelection #diet #socialmedia #misinformation

Japan's parliament has passed a bill calling for decency in election campaign posters and making it punishable for anyone who advertises a product or service on them. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/03/26/japan/politics/election-posters-bill/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #politics #2024tokyogubernatorialelection #diet

Political parties, including the ruling Liberal Democratic Party and the major opposition Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan, submitted a bill to parliament on Thursday calling for decency in campaign posters. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/02/20/japan/politics/campaign-poster-bill-submission/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #politics #ldp #cdp #2024tokyogubernatorialelection #socialmedia

It could be difficult for the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan to end its cooperation with the Japanese Communist Party even after the surprise third-place finish of Renho, who both parties backed in the July 7 Tokyo gubernatorial election. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/07/17/japan/politics/cdp-jcp-izumi/ #japan #politics #renho #cdp #2024tokyogubernatorialelection #jcp #kentaizumi #ichiroozawa #tomokoyoshino #dpp

The ruling Liberal Democratic Party remains under pressure for the next general election, despite Tokyo Gov. Yuriko Koike’s landslide victory on Sunday. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/07/11/japan/politics/ldp-sense-of-crisis-for-lower-house-election/ #japan #politics #yurikokoike #ldp #2024tokyogubernatorialelection #renho #politicalfunds #lowerhouse

Tokyo Gov. Yuriko Koike ultimately secured a mostly comfortably victory in the capital's gubernatorial election Sunday, but analysts see changes ahead in future votes given the surprisingly strong performance of Shinji Ishimaru, who came in second. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/07/08/japan/politics/tokyo-election-follow-up/ #japan #politics #2024tokyogubernatorialelection #yurikokoike #shinjiishimaru #renho #tokyo

Renho placing third in Sunday’s Tokyo gubernatorial race despite the backing of the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan and its ally the Japanese Communist Party raises questions for Japan's largest opposition party. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/07/08/japan/politics/renho-election-defeat/ #japan #politics #renho #cdp #2024tokyogubernatorialelection #jcp

With less than a week left before the Tokyo gubernatorial election on Sunday, Gov. Yuriko Koike remains in the lead but with her main challenger Renho at her heels and dark horse candidate Shinji Ishimaru also building momentum. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/07/01/japan/politics/tokyo-election-polling-final-week/ #japan #politics #2024tokyogubernatorialelection #yurikokoike #renho #tokyo

Many think Tokyo Gov. Yuriko Koike is set to win a third term in the July 7 gubernatorial election, but how did she become Japan's most famous female politician and what has she actually achieved? https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/06/28/japan/politics/yuriko-koike-career/ #japan #politics #yurikokoike #2024tokyogubernatorialelection #tokyo

A small party's auctioning of the spaces allotted to its Tokyo governor candidates on wooden boards set up in 14,000 locations across the capital has exposed a loophole in the election law. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/06/24/japan/politics/tokyo-election-posters/ #japan #politics #2024tokyogubernatorialelection #takashitachibana

Ahead of the July 7 Tokyo gubernatorial election, officials are concerned about young voters' participation rate following low turnout levels for the age group when ballots for the city's top job were last cast four years ago. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/06/24/japan/politics/tokyo-gov-election-youth-votes/ #japan #politics #2024tokyogubernatorialelection #tokyo #students

Tokyo governor candidate Renho has kept quiet about Japanese Communist Party activities in support of her — ties that could alienate some voters. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/06/21/japan/politics/renho-secret-jcp-support/ #japan #politics #renho #2024tokyogubernatorialelection #jcp #cdp

The Tokyo gubernatorial election has attracted a record number of candidates, with many seemingly drawn by the amount of publicity to be gained during campaigning, a ¥3 million deposit notwithstanding. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/06/21/japan/politics/tokyo-election-candidates/ #japan #politics #2024tokyogubernatorialelection #nhkkarakokuminomamoruto
