The main observations on intensive instruction in the contents of “Active Participation in Elections” in
the classroom can be summed up as follows. Students may participate actively in elections under the
following circumstances: first, when they understand that the people exercise their sovereignty based on
substantial sovereignty away from formal sovereignty; second, when the people participate in elections on
the basis of their sense of obligation that voting preserves and develops democracy, and when they
understand that voting is a right as well as an obligation rather than both voting and abstention from
voting are their right (in this case, their sense of obligation to vote may be precipitated); third, the
people strongly feel that like in the system of proportional representation, voting reflects exactly the
results of elections; fourth, when all election processes, including the nomination of candidates, can reflect
the electorate's intentions; fifth, when the people voice by what standards they choose their favorable
candidates. This instruction may lead highschool students to actively take part in elections in the future.
