The Okayama branch of the Hiroshima High Court has ruled that the vote weight disparity in the 2024 Japanese House of Representatives election, which reached a maximum of 2.06 times, is constitutional. This ruling marks the first judicial decision regarding the issue of vote disparity in the election. The court's decision has been reported by multiple sources, confirming that the election's vote weight was deemed lawful. Additionally, the Japanese government has decided not to appeal this ruling, which comes in the context of a broader favoritism scandal.
