Court rules Dec. election invalid over vote disparity

HIROSHIMA, Japan - Tetsuya Kanao, one of the lawyers who filed a lawsuit claiming the general election held in December 2012 was invalid due to significant disparities in the weight of votes, holds a press conference in Hiroshima on March 25, 2013, after the local high court ruled in favor of the plaintiffs. The Hiroshima High Court ruled the same day that the results of the election in Hiroshima's No. 1 and 2 districts were invalid, becoming the first court in Japan to declare an election result void amid a series of lawsuits over disparities in the weight of votes.

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
