Abstract

The House of Representatives has 480 members and 300 members out of them are apportioned among 47 prefectures. Each apportionment is evaluated generally with respect to the criterion: the ratio of the maximum district size to the minimum district size. This paper shows that this criterion does not give an apportionment proportional to the population of prefectures. The actual apportionment is determined by the method of apportioning 253 members among 47 prefectures under the method of greatest remainders and adding one member to each prefecture. In addition, it is shown that this method is not proportional either.
