what is the term of an official in the house of representatives?
mid - term
the house of representatives in the empire had a four-year term and could be dissolved by the emperor. in contrast, members of the house of peers had either a lifetime mandate (subject to revocation by the emperor) or a seven-year term in the case of members elected in mutual peerage elections among the three lower peerage ranks, top taxpayer and academic peerage elections. during the war, the term of the members of the house of representatives elected in the last pre-war election of 1937 was extended by one year. the initially very high census requirement for suffrage was reduced several times until the introduction of universal male suffrage in 1925. the electoral system to the house of representatives also changed several times fundamentally: between systems of "small" mostly single- and few multi-member electoral districts (1890s, 1920, 1924), "medium" mostly multi-member districts (1928–1942) and "large" electoral districts (usually only one, rarely two city and one counties district per prefecture; 1900s and 1910s), using first-past-the-post in single-member districts, plurality-at-large voting (1890s) or single non-transferable vote in the multi-member districts. in the last general election to the house of representatives of the empire in 1946 under u.s.-led allied occupation, women's suffrage was introduced, and a system of "large" electoral districts (one or two per prefecture) with limited voting was used. a change in the electoral law in april 1945 had for the first time allocated 30 seats to the established colonies of the empire: karafuto (sakhalin), taiwan and chōsen (korea); but this change was never applied in a house of representatives general election. similarly, korea and taiwan were granted several appointed members of the house of peers in 1945.
