Voting under way in local, by-elections

Every single one of these loudspeaker-mounted trucks sounds the same, except of the name of the candidate, which they repeat over and over and over...

I like these big election boards. Where I live there are no public toilets so these are good spots to hide behind.

Those trucks with the loudspeakers are obnoxious. I wish there was a law that candidates can only blast the speakers in front of THEIR house.

I bet even if they caught you peeing on their candidate's sign, they would still continue to smile and wave enthusiastically!

Even between elections, I see Abe’s mug dotted around the countryside on placards, akin to Orwell’s dystopian leader.

Doesn't matter who the people vote for, they will have the same Washington masters.

Driving around screaming thru a bullhorn doesn't make me want to vote for you.

Do the local candidates have any meaningful public debates on fundamental issues?

Contratulations to Yara-San (All-Okinawa) in Okinawa beating the LDP backed candidate.

By or Bi?

When are they going to stop the sound trucks? Is this the only way?
