４３都府県で予備選実施　７割超が「ドント式」―自民総裁選

　自民党総裁選（８日告示、１４日投開票）をめぐり、各都道府県連に割り当てられた地方票３票の配分を決めるため、４３都府県連で独自の党員投票（予備選）を実施することが５日、時事通信社の取材で分かった。このうち７割超が予備選の得票数に応じて地方票を割り振る「ドント方式」を採用する。
　ドント方式を用いるのは、岸田文雄政調会長の地元・広島、石破茂元幹事長の地元・鳥取など３２府県連。ドント方式で３票全てを握るには、得票数１位が２位の３倍超の票を獲得する必要がある。
　得票数１位が全て獲得する「総取り方式」を採用するのは、東京、埼玉、神奈川、千葉、和歌山、沖縄の６都県連。神奈川は菅義偉官房長官、和歌山は菅氏を支援する二階俊博幹事長のお膝元だ。（2020/09/05-16:49）

A total of 43 prefectural chapters of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party will hold primary elections for the party's leadership race, Jiji Press learned Saturday.
   The prefectural chapters will hold a poll of rank-and-file members to determine who the chapters should vote for in the LDP presidential election, set for Sept. 14. Prefectural chapters are allotted three votes each.
   Of the 43 prefectural chapters, 32 will adopt the D'Hondt method for converting the party members' support into votes in the leadership election. Under the method, the first-place candidate must receive over triple the support of the runner-up in order to obtain all three votes.
   The method will be adopted by the chapters of Hiroshima and Tottori prefectures, which include the constituencies of LDP policy chief Fumio Kishida and former LDP Secretary-General Shigeru Ishiba, respectively. Kishida and Ishiba, both 63, are candidates in the likely three-way leadership race.
   Meanwhile, the chapters of Tokyo and five prefectures--Saitama, Kanagawa, Chiba, Wakayama and Okinawa--will use the winner-takes-all method. Kanagawa includes the constituency of Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga, seen as the strongest candidate, while Wakayama is home to LDP Secretary-General Toshihiro Nikai, who backs Suga, 71.
