Unicameral
Unicameralism (from ''uni''- "one" + Latin ''camera'' "chamber") is a type of legislature, which consists of one house or assembly, that legislates and votes as one. Unicameral legislatures exist when there is no widely perceived need for multicameralism (two or more chambers).

, the House of Representatives of Japan is elected from a combination of multi-member districts and single-member districts, a method called Parallel voting.
