The purpose of this paper is to clarify the practicability of introducing of video conferencing system to local assembly. The changes, which are designed to allow a continuity of local parliamentary business during the coronavirus pandemic, enter into effect. Some local assemblies approved members participating in local assembly’s committee in person and via video conferencing. However, it is difficult to adopt a new system to Plenary Session because of Local Autonomy Law. Toride Municipal Assembly and Osaka Municipal Assembly amended ordinances and regulations to run local assembly’s committees via video conferencing. But there are some problems in video conferencing such as an identification, confirmation of decisions, and release of minutes. Through the above, it was pointed out that it was necessary to review the method of local parliamentary management in the view of dual representative systems.
