自民党の
総裁選挙は、「
党員投票」を
含むか
どうかで、
2つの
方法があります。
The Liberal Democratic Party leadership election has two methods, depending on whether or not it includes a party member vote.
党の「総裁公選規程」では、国会議員による投票と、全国の党員などによる「党員投票」の合計で争われることになっています。
According to the partys Presidential Public Election Regulations, the contest is decided by the combined total of votes from members of parliament and party member votes from party members across the country.
いわゆる「フルスペック型」と呼ばれ、去年の総裁選挙は、この方法で、全国105万人余りの党員・党友らによる投票が行われました。
It is what is commonly referred to as the full-spec type, and last years party leadership election was conducted using this method, with votes cast by more than 1.05 million party members and supporters nationwide.
今回、この方法がとられた場合、「国会議員票」と「党員票」は、いずれも295票の合わせて590票で争われることになる見通しです。
If this method is adopted, it is expected that both the Diet member votes and the party member votes will each consist of 295 votes, making a total of 590 votes to be contested.
また、選挙期間は12日以上となります。
Also, the election period will be at least 12 days.
一方、総裁の任期途中の辞任など、「特に緊急を要するとき」は、党大会に代わる両院議員総会で、国会議員と、47都道府県連の代表それぞれ3人が投票を行うことになります。
On the other hand, in cases where there is an urgent need, such as the resignation of the party president in the middle of their term, a General Assembly of Diet Members will be held in place of the party convention, where each national lawmaker and three representatives from each of the 47 prefectural chapters will cast their votes.
「党員投票」を行わないことから、「簡易型」とも呼ばれています。
Since there is no “party member vote,” it is also called the “simplified type.”
今回、この方法がとられると、「国会議員票」295票と、47の都道府県連に3票ずつ割当てられる141票の「地方票」の合わせて436票で争われることになる見通しです。
This time, if this method is adopted, it is expected that the contest will be held with a total of 436 votes: 295 Diet member votes and 141 local votes, with 3 votes allocated to each of the 47 prefectural chapters.
直近で「簡易型」で行われたのは、当時の安倍総理大臣の辞任を受けて、菅総理大臣を選出した2020年の総裁選挙で、この時は、「党員の声を広く反映させるべきだ」といった意見が出て、44の都府県連では、党員などによる予備選挙が行われました。
The most recent simplified election was the 2020 leadership election held after then-Prime Minister Abe resigned, in which Prime Minister Suga was chosen. At that time, there were opinions such as the voices of party members should be widely reflected, and in 44 prefectural chapters, preliminary elections were held by party members and others.
