Tokyo 6th district
Tokyo 6th district is a constituency of the House of Representatives in the Diet of Japan (national legislature). It is located in Tokyo, and consists of major parts of the City of Setagaya, one of Tokyo's 23 special wards. With 2.18 times as many voters as Tokushima's 1st district, it had the lowest electoral weight throughout Japan in the election of 2005.〔(Yomiuri Shimbun, August 31, 2005: １票の格差２．１８倍 衆院選有権者数 ) 〕 In 2007 the Supreme Court dismissed a claim that the election in this and other Tokyo districts was unconstitutional and thus invalid.〔Supreme Court: (decision of June 13, 2007 )〕 As of September 2012, 486,353 eligible voters were registered in the district, giving them the third lowest electoral weight in the country.〔Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC): (平成24年9月2日現在選挙人名簿及び在外選挙人名簿登録者数 ) 〕
Before the electoral reform of 1994, Setagaya was part of Tokyo 3rd district, a three-member single non-transferable vote (SNTV) constituency. The post-reform single-member constituencies were used in the 1996 election for the first time.
Since its creation, the urban district had been dominated by opposition candidates until the landslide "postal privatization" election of 2005 when Liberal Democratic candidate Takao Ochi was able to defeat Democratic incumbent Yōko Komiyama by a slim margin. Komiyama was reelected via the Tokyo proportional representation block and ran again in Tokyo 6th district in the election of 2009. In 2012, Ochi received only less than a third of the vote but retook the district as the opposition to the LDP splintered. After Democratic representative Kōki Ishii had been stabbed to death in 2002 by a rightwing activist,〔(The Japan Times, October 26, 2002: Opposition lawmaker assassinated. Outspoken DPJ member stabbed in front of his house; attacker flees. )〕〔(The Japan Times, July 1, 2005: Rightist's life term upheld for DPJ lawmaker's slaying )〕 a by-election was held on April 27, 2003.
