[Details]

  1. Election Day:
    • Tuesday, November 5, marks the official Election Day in the United States. Early voting has already begun in all states, and some incidents of ballot drop boxes set on fire for mail-in ballots have been reported in certain states.
    • In the previous presidential election, protests over the election results led to ongoing demonstrations across the country, culminating in the January 2021 Capitol attack, where some protest participants became violent, resulting in casualties and multiple arrests.
    • For the current election, heightened tensions may lead to intense protests and potential clashes between supporters of both major parties, as well as with law enforcement, following Election Day results.
  2. Safety Precautions for Japanese Nationals and Travelers:
    • We encourage all Japanese nationals and visitors in the U.S. to keep informed through news sources. If you encounter protests, please exercise caution to avoid any unexpected situations. Pay attention to your surroundings when passing through areas where protests may occur.
    • Should protests escalate and clashes occur with security forces, promptly leave the area and prioritize your personal safety above all.
