Okinawa 3rd district
Okinawa 3rd district is a constituency of the House of Representatives in the Diet of Japan. It is located in Okinawa Prefecture and encompasses the cities of Nago, Okinawa, Uruma, Kunigami District and parts of Shimajiri District. As of 2016, 312,171 eligible voters were registered in the district.
The district was last represented by Denny Tamaki of the Liberal Party who automatically forfeited his seat after becoming a gubernatorial candidate in September 2018. The by-election was not expected to be held in the immediate by-election slot in October 2018, but probably only in April 2019 or even later because a Supreme Court decision on the constitutionality of the malapportionment in the last general election to the House of Representatives is still pending. Thy by-election date was later announced to be 21 April 2019.List of representatives
