Based on a nationwide survey administered before the House of Representatives election in Japan, which was held on October 31, 2021, we examine voters’ multidimensional preferences for policies based on conjoint analysis. A specific aim is to examine a puzzle in contemporary Japanese politics: why the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) dominates elections in Japan, despite proposing policies that seem to be unpopular with voters.
