The government council, which is considering reducing the number of single-seat constituencies in each prefecture in the lower house elections to "10 increase 10 decrease", will investigate the current situation of single-seat constituencies nationwide from the 5th prior to reviewing the zoning. I started.
The number of single-seat constituencies in each prefecture in the lower house election is expected to be "10 up 10 down" based on the results of the census conducted last year, and the government council will say by June next year. It is supposed to put together a revision plan for the ward allocation.
The council has decided to consider not only the 15 prefectures that are subject to "10 increase and 10 decrease", but also the division of single-seat constituencies nationwide so that the so-called "one-vote gap" is within double. , I started to investigate the current situation of the constituency from the 5th.
On the 5th, we confirmed the number of voters in each of the single-seat constituencies in Hokkaido and the six prefectures of Tohoku, as well as the status of regional ties, one by one.
The council will meet several times a month to check the status of all single-seat constituencies, consult with the governors of each prefecture, and start drafting revisions to the constituencies. I have decided.
