Türkiye is going to the polls on May 14 to elect its president and parliamentary representatives. Here is all you need to know about the country's electoral system
Türkiye’s president is elected through a two-round voting system in which a candidate must obtain an absolute majority or more than 50 percent of the nationwide vote.
Any party that has won 5 percent of the threshold vote in the previous parliamentary election can nominate a candidate. By forming alliances and passing the majority vote together, parties can also collectively field a candidate. Independents can also contest if they can collect 100,000 signatures from registered voters.
AK Party leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan is the current Turkish president. Erdogan will contest for another term in the upcoming May election. Türkiye will vote to elect 600 members of The Grand National Assembly – the country’s parliament – representing 87 electoral districts in 81 Turkish provinces. Türkiye's Supreme Election Council plays a crucial role in Turkish elections to ensure neutrality, accountability and democratic transparency.
