プールでひと泳ぎした後、参院選の投票のため、近所の小学校へ行って来ました。あの騒音公害とも言える選挙カーには今回もしっかり悩まされました。選挙期間中は
公職選挙法による選挙運動の規制が厳しく、候補者の名前を連呼する事も禁止されてるそうです。ところが、届け出を出した車や船舶からの連呼行為は許可されているとの事。だから選挙カーに乗ったとたん取り憑かれたように名前を叫んでいるんですね。ホントに迷惑!ついでに週末にウロウロしている壊れた電化製品の回収業者もうるさくてムカつく。でもナゼか石焼き芋だけは許せますネ。
After a bit of swimming, I went to the upper house election at the local elementary school. I'm glad that I don't need to hear that annoying noise pollution of the election campaigning car anymore. Apparently, during the campaign, regulation is quite tight because of the
'Public Officers Election Act' law. They are not allowed to call the candidate's name repeatedly. But once they have registered their car (or ship!), they can repeat the name. That's why they are madly shouting the names repeatedlyf. They are very annoying! And I also hate the traders who drive around the neighbourhood to collect waste materials. They are so noisy in the weekend. But I don't mind the roasted sweet potato seller vans, even though they play their song in the streets!
