"You can't vote here."
I wondered why he was blurting out such an absurdity, and I realized what they were referring to. I had moved to Setagaya city just last month, but had lived in Fuchu city up until then. The voting system is set up so that you must have lived in your voting district for at least three months before the voting date. Essentially, in order to vote, I would have to go back to Fuchu city to vote - something I'm just too lazy to do. The policy is to keep people from moving into cities in order to establish a political party majority in that area.
So I ended up not voting. Oh well.
