Voting Underway For Japan's Upper House
People across Japan are casting ballots on Sunday to fill the Diet's Upper House.
Election officials said voter turnout was at 18.79 percent as of 2 p.m.
That's 0.77 points higher from that time three years ago. These numbers don't include voters who cast ballots in advance.
All polls will be closed by 8 p.m.
As usual, only half of the chamber's seats are up for election.
The ruling coalition currently controls both the Upper and Lower houses.
