Court delivers ruling on voting weight disparity

Lawyers, including Tetsuya Kanao (C), attend a press conference on Oct. 19, 2016, in the western Japan city of Hiroshima after the Hiroshima High Court ruled the maximum vote weight disparity in the July 2016 upper house election was "in a state of unconstitutionality." While criticizing that the court refused to invalidate the election, Kanao said he welcomed the decision that it was in a state of unconstitutionality. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
