Japanese voters weary of political upheaval will reluctantly head to the polls Sunday, in an election that promises to be one of the country's most complex and confusing ever. Polls suggest that Japan, now on its seventh prime minister in just six years, faces another leadership change — a premise that has split voters. "I don't know why we have to keep changing our leaders," one young voter told NBC News. "I'm placing my bet on something new because there's no hope with existing parties," another voter said. "It's hard to know exactly what we're voting for," another told the Associated Press. That is because candidates from 11 political parties — most formed in the past two years, from Japan's ruling Democratic Party of Japan and the Liberal Democratic Party, which dominated politics since World War II — are running for parliament. Reuters reported Friday, citing surveys, that between 30 and 50 percent of voters were undecided days before the election, as voters struggle to distinguish parties' positions.
