Japan prepares for snap election as over 105 million voters head to polls

26 October 2024 23:30 (UTC +04:00)

Japan is set to hold a snap general election on Sunday, aiming to elect lawmakers to the House of Representatives, the 465-seat lower house of parliament known as the National Diet, APA reports citing Japanese media.

With over 45,000 polling stations established nationwide, more than 105 million eligible voters will have the opportunity to cast their ballots.

A record number of more than 1,300 candidates are competing for seats, including 314 women, the highest representation of female candidates in the country’s history.

Voters will use a two-ballot system: one for selecting a candidate in their single-seat constituency and another for choosing a party for proportional representation. Japan is divided into 289 single-seat districts and 11 proportional representation blocs.
