Vote - vote

Japanese: 投票 - とうひょう(英語表記)vote
Vote - vote
The voter's expression of support or opposition on a certain issue, or the will of the electorate in an election. Examples of expressions of support or opposition include local referendums on territorial sovereignty, national referendums on constitutional amendments, and recall votes. In general, however, the term is used to refer to the voter's expression of intent to select a specific person from a set number of candidates in an election. In Japan, the Constitution guarantees a secret ballot for citizens and residents (Article 15, Clause 4). The method of voting is to be determined by law (Constitution, Article 47), and the Public Offices Election Act stipulates basic principles such as single-vote ballots, one person, one vote, written ballots (however, proxy voting is permitted in certain cases), and voting at polling stations (however, absentee ballots are permitted in certain cases).
