The 21st Elections to the House of Councillors (第21回参議院議員通常選挙 Dainijūikkai Sangiingiin Tsūjōsenkyo) for the upper house of the legislature of Japan were held on July 29 2007. The date was originally to be July 22 but the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) decided in mid-June to extend the session of the House for a week to finish up legislative business; this step was criticised due to the short-term delay.The House of Councillors consists of 242 members who serve six-year terms.
