Court delivers ruling on voting weight disparity

Lawyers hold a banner reading "one person one vote" on Oct. 19, 2016, in front of the Akita branch of the Sendai High Court, which ruled the maximum vote weight disparity in the July 2016 upper house election was "in a state of unconstitutionality." The court, however, rejected the lawsuit seeking that the election be invalidated. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
