The main prefecture building on the Shimmachi River in Tokushima City.

In the fourth term of office of Tokushima, Kamon Iizumi is governor , who was last re-elected for a fifth term in the uniform regional elections in April 2019 with the support of the LDP and Kōmeitō against the LDP prefectural parliamentarian Taiji Kishimoto. The parliament is also elected in the unified regional elections. In 2019, the LDP won 22 of the 38 seats.

The national parliament Tokushima sent since the election in 2014 , only two directly elected members to the House of Commons and selects since 2016 no longer own deputies to the upper house , Tokushima forms since then, together with the adjacent Kōchi the common Einmandatswahlkreis Tokushima Kōchi. In the lower house, Tokushima (as of August 2019) represent Masazumi Gotōda (LDP, 7th term, 51.5% of the vote in the 2017 election ), who represented the abolished constituency 3 until 2014, for the new constituency 1 in the south and for the enlarged constituency 2 in north Shun'ichi Yamaguchi (LDP, 10th term, 2017 71.0%), former minister in the Abe cabinet. In the House of Lords, Tokushima's independent representation has ceased to exist; but the LDP uses the new system of optionally unelected list places in the proportional representation to the upper house to give the LDP prefectural associations affected by the constituency associations safe seats: In the 2019 election , Kōjirō Takano from Kōchi received the (successful) majority candidate Tokushima-Kōchi, and Tōru Miki from Tokushima took the LDP list position 1 in the proportional representation.
