Mie at-large district

Mie at-large district is a constituency in the House of Councillors of Japan, the upper house of the Diet of Japan (national legislature). It currently elects 2 members to the House of Councillors, 1 per election.

Mie, similar to other rural, 2-seat districts, is now an LDP stronghold. However, during the 90s and 00s, it showed a tendency to break towards the opposition; it elected independents, along with some members of the Democratic Party of Japan. However, with the Democratic Party's collapse throughout the mid-2010s, it began to trend away from the opposition. The last opposition member to serve the district was Hirokazu Shiba, who was narrowly re-elected in 2016 and did not run for re-election in 2022.
