New Right to Vote Has Small Appeal to the Japanese
Tokyo reports that prefectural elections under Japan’s new manhood suffrage law show many eligible voters skip polling or cast ballots without understanding the choices. Leaders fear it will take years for the public to grasp suffrage and elections as a means to express majority will. The Diet passed the law after fierce debate, expanding voting to all men 25 and older, but working voters produced little cohesion for the active campaign locally. The two national parties Keikyukai and Minsei Seiyukai dominated coverage, focused on potential impact on next spring's national vote rather than genuine mobilization of labor interests.
