About this election

Electoral system

The 465 members are chosen by parallel voting — 289 in single-member districts by first-past-the-post and 176 by proportional representation across 11 blocs, with two separate ballots. Dual candidacy and list "revival" mean district losers can still enter parliament. The map colours each prefecture by the party that won the most of its single-member districts. In 2024 the LDP still led 34 prefectures, but the CDP carried 11 — including much of Tōhoku and several urban prefectures — while Ishin held its Osaka bastion.
