Summary
It is election held with Sapporo mayoralty four years having expired. The ruling and opposition parties riding together system except the Japanese Communist Party (the following, the Communist Party) followed since the Sapporo mayoral election was election of 1983, and the Social Democratic Party Japan (the following, the Socialist Party) shelved candidate support. However, record-high seven people ran because the Liberal Democratic Party (the following, the LDP) and the Democratic Party which continued riding together until now supported an each original candidate because Mayor incumbent Nobuo Katsura expressed a non-run this time and did not nominate candidate successor, and the candidate who advocated "independents" again ran in succession. Votes dispersed in the election of April, and a candidate with a legal vote was not, and re-election was performed in June two months later. As a result of re-election, Fumio Ueda with a most vote achieved election in election in April.

As for Ueda who became the top by a vote, other candidates including Nakao were not able to enlarge support under discrete influence a weak body and the democracy substrate of the labor union. Nakao of the second place had the popularity by the candidacy secondary to election last time in 1999, but candidate independents failed to rise under influence jumbled up close together. And seeing it developed the electoral campaign that cooperated with LDP member of a city council and a member of Hokkaido assembly, and a way of the third place planned organization hardening, but was not able to gather wide support. As for thing, Tsuboi whom the camp demanded support from the LDP in Akiyama of the candidate independents, and incomprehensibleness showed a lot of, the citizen net that popularity lack belonged in Yamaguchi for the member of a city council era turned around for recommendation of Ueda, and support did not open. I received a blast of the candidate flooding, and Sato of the Communist Party recommendation was less than the vote of the party recommendation candidate in the election last time.
A faulty ballot and the total of the take-out reached approximately 48,000 votes, and it followed that nearly 30,000 votes increased in comparison with election last time. It followed that I supported that I was not able to train the candidate whom a qualified voter voted for hard till the last.
Because the Sapporo-shi board of elections received this result and notified "there is no election person" on 15th of the voting and counting the ballots day, the following day, and formal objection was not performed by 30th, I notified a schedule of the mayor re-election on May 25 on May 1 and decided June 8 with an election day [1]. Because an election day was June 8 that is the period of the temporary exception method [2] in an election date, the election will be performed in the schedule of nationwide local elections on the next time, too.
June re-election
Because I was not, the candidate who got 25% of legal votes necessary for election in the mayoral election of April was performed.
Basic data
Among seven candidates who ran for election in April, Ueda and Nakao showed up in person again, and other five people gave up the candidacy. The LDP where I looked at the way and recommended を to supported Gaku Ishizaki of the former member of the House of Representatives who lost a general election in 2000, and the Communist Party supported Keiji Aoyama of the way committee vice chairman as a ticket in place of Sato.

As for elected Ueda, the citizens movement group including the non profit organization (NPO) presented a grass-roots movement in addition to the support from the labor union, and it worked I saw the way which ran for unaffiliated voters on LDP recommendation in election by having opened support, the election most end game in April, and to have got the support of the candidate ら 3. On the other hand, Ishizaki was strong in the repulsion for having replaced a candidate forcibly although I planned organization hardening including the support of Soka Gakkai which was a power base of the LDP and the New Komeito, and support did not open to unaffiliated voters. Most of the candidate independents who ran last time turned around for Ueda support, and Nakao who raised independents, and ran again lacked in an expanse for support [4].
When the political party support by the exit polls that Hokkaido Shimbun Press performed was different and saw it, Ueda canceled the 50% neighborhood of unaffiliated voters, a little under 80%, election campaign of the democracy substrate and acquired independence vote and higher than 40% of the Communist Party substrate that it was. On the other hand, Ishizaki got nearly 75% of the LDP substrate, more than 85% of the fair substrate, but remained in around 24% in the unaffiliated voters. The support of Nakao in unaffiliated voters remained in around 26% [5].
