The {{nihongo|'''Osaka Prefectural Assembly'''|大阪府議会|Ōsaka-fu gikai}} is the [[Prefectures of Japan|prefectural]] legislature of [[Osaka-fu|Osaka]]. As in all prefectures, it is elected to four year terms by [[single non-transferable vote]] in multi- and single-member districts and is responsible for enacting and amending prefectural by-laws, approving the budget and important administrative appointments in the prefectural government, including the (in Osaka: three) vice governors.

The assembly has a regular membership 88 members.

The assembly has a regular membership of 109 (including vacant seats that are filled in by-elections), but will be cut to 88 members beginning with the next general election of the assembly.

If the [[Osaka Metropolis plan]] is implemented (scheduled by the majority [[Osaka Restoration Association]] for 2015), the assembly will gain additional usually municipal responsibilities for the area of the dissolved municipalities (if approved in the respective municipal referendums: Osaka City, Sakai City and several surrounding cities) – similar to the [[Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly]] that has some municipal authority in the area of dissolved Tokyo City in addition to its usual prefectural authority for all of Tokyo.

Unless a recall referendum, a no-confidence vote against the governor or a supermajority decision by the assembly lead to early elections, the next general election is expected to be held in April 2015 as part of the 18th unified local elections.


== Electoral districts ==
== Electoral districts ==
The currently 109 members of the assembly are elected in 62 electoral districts. Most districts cover one municipality or one ward of a designated major city (Osaka and Sakai), but some cover several wards or municipalities or one of the former [[Counties of Japan|counties]] – abolished as administrative units in 1921, but still used as geographical and statistical units, e.g. in postal addresses. In the next election, the total number of seats will be reduced to 88 while the electoral districts remain unchanged; the new district magnitude valid in the next election is given in parentheses. Several multi-member districts will become single-member districts where the single non-transferable vote is equivalent to [[first-past-the-post]].
Changes to the electoral districts at the April 2015 election, there are 88 assembly members who are elected in 53 electoral districts, reduced from the 109 members who were elected at the 2011 election. Most districts cover one municipality or one ward of a designated major city (Osaka and Sakai), but some cover several wards or municipalities. The nine towns and one village within the prefecture are referred to by the [[Districts of Japan|district]] that they belong to.
