Tokyo, Safar 02, 1439, October 22, 2017, SPA -- Voters in Japan have started to cast their ballots in parliamentary elections as polling stations across the country opened at 7 am (2200 GMT Saturday), according to dpa. Some 106.4 million voters are eligible to vote in the House of Representatives elections, in which Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's ruling Liberal Democratic Party is likely to score victory, according to major polls in Japan. With a powerful typhoon bringing heavy rain and lashing winds to the country's mainland, adverse weather conditions could lead to low voter turnout. --SPA 02:45 LOCAL TIME 23:45 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w517551
