Hyogo 8th district (兵庫県第8区, Hyōgo-ken Dai-hachiku), also referred to as Hyōgo hachi-ku (兵庫8区), is a constituency of the House of Representatives in the Diet of Japan. It is located in southwestern Hyōgo and consists of the city of Amagasaki. As of September 2015, 379,207 eligible voters were registered in the district.[1] It is one of the 48 districts in the Kansai region that form the Kinki proportional representation block.
The district was established as part of the electoral reform of 1994; the area was previously part of Hyōgo 2nd district that elected five representatives by single non-transferable vote.
