Aftermath
editIn the national constituency, a polling station in Sano, Tochigi accidentally had Japan Socialist Party candidate Takeshi Hirabayashi labelled as belonging to the Japanese Communist Party. As a result, the results in Sano were invalidated through an appeal decision of the Supreme Court on 24 September 1954. A re-vote was held on 17 October 1954 with proper labels, and Hirabayashi narrowly won a spot in the lower ranks of the national constituency results.[3]
