The office will reopen when the election is over. If campaigning through internet is allowed, we will be able to be engaged in campaigning activities in SL to the full extent. However, it is impossible to do so under the present law. It is regrettable. Let's foster a movement for removal of ban on internet campaigning with full-scale efforts of net users in order to have the opinion of the netizens in Japan more reflected in politics.

Notice of temporary closure

According to Public Office Election Law, the office has been temporarily closed as the House of Councilors election was notified.
The office will reopen when the election is over.

If campaigning through internet is allowed, we will be able to be engaged in campaigning activities in SL to the full extent. However, it is impossible to do so under the present law. It is regrettable.

Let’s foster a movement for removal of ban on internet campaigning with full-scale efforts of net users in order to have the opinion of the netizens in Japan more reflected in politics.

“Stand up, netizens!”

Member of the House of Councilors, Kan Suzuki
