国民投票法、今国会も成立見送りへ　２６日衆院実質審議入り

　自民党の森山裕、立憲民主党の安住淳両国対委員長が２５日、国会内で会談し、憲法改正に関する国民投票の利便性を高める国民投票法改正案について、２６日の衆院憲法審査会で実質審議入りすることで合意した。同日の採決は見送る。自民党は来月３日採決の可能性を排除していないが、会期末は同５日に迫っており、成立は通常国会以降に持ち越される見通しだ。
　改正案は、駅や商業施設への共通投票所設置を可能にすることが柱。２０１８年に与党と日本維新の会などが共同提出して以来、継続審議を繰り返し、今国会が８国会目だった。（2020/11/25-19:21）

The Diet, Japan's parliament, is unlikely to pass a revision to the national referendum law related to proposed constitutional amendments before its current session ends on Dec. 5.
   The bill is expected to remain pending and be carried over to another Diet session, although the ruling Liberal Democratic Party is still seeking to enact it next week.
   On Wednesday, the LDP and the biggest opposition Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan agreed that the Commission on the Constitution of the House of Representatives, the lower chamber of the Diet, will meet on Thursday to discuss the bill, without a vote taking place.
   The LDP-led ruling camp proposed putting the bill to a vote at the Lower House panel on Thursday, but the CDP and some other opposition parties took a cautious stance.
   The revision is designed to make it easier for voters to cast their ballots in referendums on constitutional amendments. It will, among other things, allow polling sites to be established at train stations and commercial facilities.
