Pasona Group Inc. and Kyocera Corporation have partnered to support the Nakano Children's Election, a mock election held in conjunction with the Nakano Ward mayoral election on June 7, 2026. The initiative uses Kyocera's electronic voting system, Digi-Sen, to provide a hands-on voting experience for children under 18. Pasona, leveraging its expertise in human resources, will provide staffing and operational support at seven polling stations across Nakano Ward. This collaboration follows a broader partnership between Pasona, Kyocera, and JTB, which began on April 15, 2026, to promote smooth electronic voting in local elections. The goal of this event is to encourage children's interest in politics and societal issues by allowing them to engage with real candidates' messages and cast a simulated vote. Additionally, it highlights the benefits of Digi-Sen, which prevents invalid votes and improves ballot counting efficiency.
