1924 Japanese General Election

15th General elections were held in Japan on 10 May 1924. Rikken Seiyukai, which was led by Hara Takashi, won an overall majority in the House of Representatives. Voter turnout was 91.2%.
In the 1920s, all economic indicators were falling slightly, but Seiyukai, led by Hara Takashi, nonetheless enjoyed tremendous popularity. Based on his own popularity, Hara continued to improve the rural economic structure, expand infrastructure, and suppress the left, represented by the Peace Preservation Law of 1921. The 1924 general election was held without much change, and ended in a victory for Seiyukai without much change.
