Fukuoka High Court Rules Vote Disparity in 2014 Lower House Election Unconstitutional

FUKUOKA, JAPAN - MARCH 25: Lawyers and representatives of plaintiffs are seen holding a banner 'Unconstitutional' after the Fukuoka High Court ruling on March 25, 2015 in Fukuoka, Japan. The ruling filed by two groups of lawyers at 14 high courts and their branches to seek an annulment of the election results in all 295 single-seat electoral districts. The plaintiffs argue that the vote disparity violates Article 14 of the Constitution, which says all people are equal under the law. The maximum disparity in the weight of votes in the election was 2.13:1 between the Miyagi No. 5 district and the Tokyo No. 1 district. (Photo by The Asahi Shimbun via Getty Images)
