Tokyo: Japan is still experiencing heavy snowfall, which could affect tomorrow's election. Japan continues to face freezing temperatures and heavy snowfall in many areas, which could affect voting in tomorrow's general election.

According to Thai News Agency, the Japan Meteorological Agency reports that freezing temperatures and heavy snowfall are expected to continue, particularly along the Sea of Japan coast, where heavy snowfall and strong winds are anticipated until Monday. Snowfall is expected to peak on Sunday. Niigata Prefecture is projected to receive up to 70 centimeters of snow by early tomorrow morning, while the Chugoku region is expected to see 60 centimeters, and other areas, including Hokkaido, Hokuriku, and Kinki, may experience 50 centimeters of snow. Authorities have warned residents to be aware of the impact of heavy snowfall on traffic, as well as the risk of avalanches and power outages, and the possibility of snow collapsing from rooftops.

Japan East Railway Corporation announced that heavy snowfall could cause significant train delays, rerouting, and service suspensions in the Tokyo area. Passengers are advised to closely monitor weather reports. This severe weather comes just days before Japan's general election tomorrow, which will affect voting arrangements and may prevent people in northern regions from leaving their homes.

Since January 20, at least 45 people have died and more than 500 have been injured in heavy snowfall in Japan. Most of the incidents were caused by accidents while clearing snow, such as falling from roofs or being buried under avalanches.
