Lawyers in Japan have filed lawsuits across the country demanding that the results of Sunday&#039;s Lower House elections be nullified, citing &quot;unconstitutional&quot; levels of disparity in the value of votes.
                
In the latest polls, one vote in the least-populated Tottori No.1 district was 2.06 times as valuable as one in the most populous Hokkaido No.3 district, despite a recent remedial redrawing of the electoral map.
                
In the lawsuits filed on Monday, the lawyers&#039; group demand that the results of races in single-seat constituencies be nullified. They said the situation is unconstitutional, as everyone should be given an equally valuable vote.
                
The 2021 Lower House elections had vote-value disparity as high as 2.08-to-1, but the Supreme Court ruled that it was not unconstitutional.
                
Ito Makoto, a member of the group, told reporters that authorities could have anticipated such a large disparity before the elections, when they were redrawing the electoral districts, because the populations in some areas were expected to drop. Ito said everyone&#039;s vote should be equally valuable, regardless of where they live.
