Full List Of Candidates For AKB48's 5th Senbatsu General Election

With the application deadline to become a candidate in AKB48's 5th Senbatsu General Election passed, the final list of girls vying to become Senbatsu members has been determined.
This year's Senbatsu General Election has set itself apart from years past by changing the rules. Instead of everyone automatically being part of the election, the girls had to formally enter themselves as candidates. Graduated members were also eligible to enter.
The elections for the 5th Senbatsu General Election will be held from May 21st to June 7th. Ballots for the election will be included in AKB48's 31st single which will go on sale on May 22nd. Fan club members and mobile members will also get to vote in the election.
