House of Representatives
The House of Representatives is the lower chamber of the United States Congress, established by the Constitution in 1789. It is composed of representatives elected from congressional districts, with representation based on state population, and holds primary responsibility for initiating revenue bills and impeaching federal officials.
Hokkaido 1st district
The Hokkaido 1st district is a single-member electoral constituency for Japan’s House of Representatives, covering a portion of Sapporo, the capital city of Hokkaido. As an administrative political district, its history is tied to Japan’s electoral system reforms, most recently re-established in 2022 from a merger of parts of the former Hokkaido 1st and 3rd districts.
