(Reuters) - Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's party looks set for a huge win on Sunday in an election that will allow the conservative leader to claim a fresh mandate for his reflationary policies to revive Japan's long-stagnant economy.
Voting began at 7 a.m. for an election that the premier has cast as a referendum on his "Abenomics" strategy to end deflation and generate growth. Media exit polls, which have proved reliable in the past, will come out at 8 p.m. (1100 GMT).
Abe called the vote after just two years in office in a gamble originally seen as potentially costing his party seats. But media projections have said his long-dominant Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) could win more than 300 seats in the 475-member lower house, possibly its biggest victory since its founding nearly six decades ago.

参考译文:
(路透)-日首相安倍晋三一派表现出对周末大选胜券在握之势。其本人业已制定刺激景气政策,旨在复苏日本长期停止的经济。而通过此次选举,可以使该政策得获新批。
投票于早上7点开始,这次投票实则是首相为其“安倍经济学”战略所作之公投,此战略目标是终结通货紧缩并引发(经济)增长。同时,媒体出口民调将在晚8点公布,此前该民调证实可靠。
安倍仅执政两年就冒险发动投票,此举原被认定可能会消耗执政党席位。但据媒体预测,长期由其主导的自由民主党有望在总数475人的下议院中引得超过300个席位,这也许是该党派成立60多年以来最大的胜利。
