The Hokkaido 3nd District (Japanese: 北海道第3区, Hepburn: Hokkaidō dai-san-ku) is a former constituency for the House of Representatives between the 1947 and 1993 elections. It was abolished following the 1994 electoral reform when Japan moved from single non-transferable vote to a parallel system.[1]
Located in the prefecture (-dō) of Hokkaidō, prior to its dissolution, it consisted of the southernmost portion of Hokkaido, centred on Hakodate, containing the area that comprises contemporary Hiyama and Oshima Subprefectures. It had 417,098 registered electors at the 1993 election.[2]
With the return to single-member districts in the 1990s electoral reform, the district became the Hokkaido 8th district.
