Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Japan's lower house, also known as the House of Representatives, is elected through a mixed electoral system that combines single-member districts and proportional representation. In this system, voters in single-member districts elect one representative, while voters in larger multi-member districts cast votes for party lists of candidates. Half of the lower house seats are chosen in single-member districts while the other half is chosen through proportional representation. This system aims to balance the representation of popular will with the need for geographic representation.
