Gap. This page does not list candidate names. None of the sources read on 17 October 2026 was a proclamation of the next House of Representatives general election or the next House of Councillors ordinary election.

The Ministry’s guide says a candidate for the House of Representatives must be at least 25, and for the House of Councillors at least 30, with no residence requirement for either. A prefectural governor must be at least 30. A prefectural assembly member must be at least 25 and have lived for at least three months in a municipality of that prefecture. This page does not explain how to file.
