[Effect] In the electoral list (electoral list file), voting status information (referred to as check information) indicating either unvoted or voted status is provided as attribute information for each elector, and used for personal authentication. Based on the information of the individual elector inputted from the card or the like, the information of the corresponding elector is retrieved, displayed and output. From this output information, the voter's unvoted / voted status is checked, and if not voted, check information indicating that the voter has been voted is registered in the electoral list,
Perform the prescribed procedure to encourage the elector to vote. At this time, when the receptionist has erroneously performed the voting reception check in the electoral list, that is, the person in charge of the reception terminal erroneously registers the voted check information for a different elector on the electoral list. Every time the registered voted check is changed (the check information is changed from voted to unvoted), the history (person code, change time, etc.) is stored in a journal, storage memory, etc. Record and save in.

[0016] Thus, the voting status information indicating unvoted / voted on the electoral list can be registered quickly and smoothly, and the history of the registered voting check is changed every time the registered voting check is changed. Leaving this will allow you to build a reliable electoral list.

In the process of changing the registered check for voting, the registered code or password is entered through an operation of inputting the registered code or password. After confirming the validity of the e-mail, after confirming the legitimacy, only the person in charge is allowed to change the check information.

Further, the electoral list (file) constructed as described above is made accessible during the above-mentioned predetermined period, and predetermined information is displayed and output, so that each individual electorate is displayed. A highly reliable electoral list in which the content change is immediately reflected can be viewed.
