- Japanese_House_of_Councillors_election,_2016 abstract "The 24th regular election of members of the House of Councillors (dai-nijūyon-kai Sangiin giin tsūjō senkyo, 第24回参議院議員通常選挙) will be held in early Summer 2016 to elect 121 of the 242 members of the House of Councillors, the upper house of the 717-member bicameral National Diet of Japan, for a term of six years. 76 members are elected by single non-transferable vote (SNTV)/First-past-the-post (FPTP) in 45 multi- and single-member prefectural electoral districts; for the first time, there will be two combined (gōku) prefectural single-member electoral districts that consist of two prefectures each: Tottori-Shimane and Tokushima-Kōchi. This change and several other reapportionments were part of an electoral reform law passed by the Diet in July 2015 designed to reduce the maximum ratio of malapportionment in the House of Councillors below 3. The nationwide district which elects 48 members by D'Hondt proportional representation with most open lists remains unchanged.The term of members up in 2016, elected in the 2010 regular election or subsequently to that class in by-elections or as runners-up, ends on July 25. Under the "Public Offices Election Act" (kōshoku-senkyo-hō), the regular election must be held within 30 days before that date, or under certain conditions if the Diet is in session or scheduled to open at that time, between 24 and 30 days after the closure of the session and thus potentially somewhat after the actual end of term.In the class of members up in 2016, the ruling coalition of Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and Kōmeitō is close to but slightly below the majority line with a combined 58 of 121 seats (as of August 2015). The position of the main opposition Democratic Party (DPJ) is still relatively strong compared to the other half of the chamber: It holds 42 of 121 seats, 15 national and 27 prefectural seats, still including seven from single-member districts – compared to 0 single-member district winners in 2013. In regard to the overall composition of the house, the LDP would have to gain eight seats or more to reach a majority of its own and make the coalition with Kōmeitō unnecessary to pass legislation as it also holds a large (but not two-thirds) majority of its own in the lower house of the Diet. In the other direction, the governing coalition would have to lose 13 seats or more to forfeit its overall majority in the House of Councillors and face an at least technically a divided Diet (nejire Kokkai, lit. "twisted Diet") – as independents or minor opposition groups might be willing to support the government on a regular basis without inclusion in the cabinet, the actual nejire threshold may be lower than 121 seats. In legislation, the coalition two-thirds majority in the House of Representatives could then still override the House of Councillors; but certain Diet decisions, notably the approval of certain nominations by the cabinet such as public safety commission members or Bank of Japan governor, would require the cooperation of at least part of the opposition or an expansion of the ruling coalition.Among the members up in 2016 are House of Councillors President Masaaki Yamazaki (LDP, Fukui), Vice President Azuma Koshiishi (DPJ, Yamanashi) and from the Third Abe Cabinet, ministers Yōichi Miyazawa (LDP, Hiroshima) and Eriko Yamatani (LDP, national proportional) – pending the cabinet reshuffle expected after the September 2015 LDP leadership election when incumbent LDP president Shinzō Abe is expected to be reelected with little or no challenge after he defended a large lower house majority and secured a third term as prime minister in December 2014.".
