This article presents detail of the results in the 2003 Japan general election, breaking down results by block district. The 11 block districts elected 180 members by proportional representation (allocated to party lists in each block by the D'Hondt method), and 300 members were elected from single-member districts distributed among the 47 prefectures.
Five parties qualified to submit lists in each of the block districts. These were New Kōmeitō, the Democratic Party of Japan, the Japan Communist Party, the Liberal Democratic Party, and the Social Democratic Party. In addition, a number of candidates were elected in single-member districts who were independent or belonged to smaller parties. Some of these joined the major parties after the election—notably, the New Conservative Party was subsumed into the LDP.
