Tottori 1st district

Tottori 1st district is a constituency of the House of Representatives in the Diet of Japan. It covers roughly the Eastern half of Tottori and consists of the cities of Tottori and Kurayoshi and the counties of Iwami, Yazu as well as the towns of Yurihama and Misasa in Tōhaku District. As of 2012, 256,020 eligible voters were registered in the district.[1]

Before the electoral reform of 1994, the area had been part of Tottori At-large district where four Representatives had been elected by single non-transferable vote.

Tottori 1st district like most of Chūgoku is usually voting for conservative candidates. The district is a "conservative kingdom" (hoshu ōkoku), a stronghold of the Liberal Democratic Party, and its only representative since its creation has been Shigeru Ishiba (without faction, formerly Nukaga faction), secretary-general, former defense and agriculture minister, son of former Councillor and Tottori governor Jirō Ishiba and grandson of Tarō Kanamori, (appointed) governor of Tokushima and Yamagata in the 1930s.
