2005 Ibaraki gubernatorial election
In 2005, there was an election held in Ibaraki, which is a place in Japan, to choose who would be the governor. A governor is like the boss of a place called a prefecture, which is kind of like a state or province.
In this election, there were different people who wanted to be the governor, and they tried to convince the people of Ibaraki that they would be the best choice.
The people of Ibaraki got to choose who they wanted to be their governor by voting. Voting is when you pick someone or something that you like the most.
Each person who wanted to be the governor had different ideas and plans for what they would do if they won. They talked to the people and told them about their ideas. They tried to convince the people that their ideas were the best and that they should be the governor.
The people listened to what each person had to say and thought about who they liked the most and who they trusted the most to do a good job. They also looked at things like the candidate's experience and past successes to help them decide.
Then, on the day of the election, all the people who were eligible to vote went to a special place called a polling station. It's like a big room where you can vote. They were given a piece of paper called a ballot that had the names of all the candidates on it.
The voters had to pick the name of the person they wanted to be the governor and put it in a box. This was their way of saying, "I want this person to be the governor."
After everyone had voted, the people who were in charge of counting the votes started to count them. They took each ballot out of the box and looked at which name was written on it. They kept track of how many votes each candidate got.
Once they finished counting all the votes, they looked at the numbers and saw which candidate got the most votes. The candidate who got the most votes became the governor.
