Each candidate puts one legal size poster in the box.
A typical poster consists of:
- candidate's name (big font, and it's gothic/sans-serif, though in Japanese typography sans-serif or serif is somewhat different compared with in the west )
- candidate's face (smile, smile and smile)
- slogan(s)
- the name of the political party that the candidate belongs
As I observe, one of the colours that are most frequently used is blue. Something "fresh" and "clearcut" about the colour is particularly liked, I suppose.
Anyway, these posters are boring as hell.
For the cute little creature at the right bottom, I posted an enlarged picture here.

Next Thursday, September 15th, there will be a general election in Denmark, and as I work as a secretary to one of the ministers (the political kind, not the clerical) I thought election cookies were in order.
I'll try to shortly explain the election system in Denmark, but please correct me if I write nonsense.
The general election is to find the members for the Danish parliament (Folketinget), where there are 179 seats, 90 mandates giving a majority.
There are nine different parties to choose between, and the voters can either vote for a party as a whole or for a candidate from a specific party. Each party has their own agenda on economics, welfare, education and so on, but have also pointed at one of two candidates they will support for the post as prime minister.
Those two candidates are the leaders of the two largest parties, and their blocs are called red or blue. As it stands now, the result will be very close, though the red bloc has a slight lead, but no one knows what the result will actually turn out to be, so it's very exciting. I won't know until late Thursday whether I'm to have a new boss.
The cookies are made with the logoes of the nine parties. Some where harder to make than others, and for most you might be able to guess whether they belong to the red or blue bloc just from the colours they use. I added a few pencils and crosses as we mark a cross on the ballot paper when we vote.
There is of course, a lot more to an election, but it's limited how much I can write here without everyone falling asleep before they've read it all, so I just hope this made sense :0)
before going to vote, i felt the urge to post a helpful sign for the morons and bigots who swing conservative. hopefully the dumpster company allows toxic waste.

The Commonwealth Observer Group, chaired by the former President of the United Republic of Tanzania Jakaya Kikwete, witnessed the general elections in Nigeria.
The Commonwealth regularly sends teams to observe and report on the conduct of elections. We help build lasting democratic institutions, enabling citizen participation and representation at national and local level. We believe in invitation, not intervention, and follow the principles outlined in the international declaration and code of conduct for election observers.
Nigeria is the largest economy in Africa and a key member of the Commonwealth family. The Commonwealth has a long tradition of supporting the nation’s democratic development through election observation. This will be the sixth time a Commonwealth Observer Group will be observing elections in Nigeria, since 1999.

I tallied all the election literature I received for Virginia's gubernatorial election today (November 5, 2013). This is a picture of the literature I received - I sense a theme!
Number of election literature mailers I received: 28
That includes 1 letter each from Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton, both urging me to vote for the Democratic candidate (Terry McAuliffe). The one from Hillary only called me "friend," while the one from Michelle addressed me by first name.
2 of the mailers were from neutral parties, just telling me that I voted in 2012, and that they hope I will vote in the 2013 elections too.
1 was a letter from the Democratic party of Virginia, urging me to vote and including a sample ballot for the Democratic ticket (including all the local/downstream races, and to vote no on the local housing referendum).
1 was an ad for an Independent candidate.
1 was an ad for a Women's Workshop on how to get involved in politics with the Democrats leading up to the election (one of the first ones I got).
Of the remaining 20 mailings, 15 of them had only one theme - the Republican candidate, Ken Cuccinelli, is "extreme" and "way out there" - on women's issues in particular. I didn't get a single pro-Cuccinelli mailer.
