About 80% of people in the nation said that Okinawa Prefecture has been developing steadily in the 50 years since its reversion to Japan, according to a pair of polls conducted by The Yomiuri Shimbun.
Ahead of the 50th anniversary of the May 15, 1972, reversion to Japan, a survey of eligible voters in Okinawa Prefecture was conducted in tandem with a survey of voters across the nation, including those in the prefecture. Both surveys were conducted via postal mail.
