Constituency

Article 4 of Law 2839 counts a province electing up to 18 deputies as one constituency, divides a province electing 19 to 35 into two, and divides a province electing 36 or more into three. This province’s 2023 deputy count is 98, so that rule describes three constituencies. The districts inside each numbered constituency are not on this page.

Last and next parliamentary election

The previous joint presidential election and 28th-term parliamentary general election was Sunday, 14 May 2023. Decision 2023/94 records that decision 2023/90 set that day. The province-level vote table is not copied here.

Page for the 2028 elections

Gap. No Supreme Election Council calendar read on 17 October 2026 prints the polling day of the next ordinary presidential and parliamentary elections. Article 3 of Law 6271 says they are held every five years on the same day, and that polling day is the last Sunday before the terms expire, counted from the previous joint election. This page does not calculate that Sunday.

Local administration

Article 1(5) of Law 6360 says the special provincial administration’s legal personality is removed in the provinces named in paragraphs 1, 2, and 4. This province is in those lists.

The last local general election, as decision 2023/1565 states, was Sunday, 31 March 2024.

Gap. District pages name the ilçe belediye başkanı when the YSK open-data file of people elected on 31 March 2024 has one. Liste 3 leaves out seven cancelled contests. Three of those are districts: Aksaray-Güzelyurt, Kayseri-Pınarbaşı, and Şanlıurfa-Hilvan. The elected person’s name is not on those three district pages. The kaymakam’s name is not copied.

Gap. The governor’s name is not copied on this page. Article 126 of the Constitution says provincial administration is based on deconcentration. The Interior Ministry publishes the current governors.

Gap. Law 2972 article 8 says ordinary local elections are held every five years, that 1 January of the fifth year is the start, and that polling day is the last Sunday of March of that year. Decision 2023/1565 applied that rule to 31 March 2024. No later decision setting the next ordinary local polling day was read on 17 October 2026, so this page does not print one.

Gap. Town, village, and neighbourhood pages are not in this release. TÜİK’s 2025 statistical yearbook counts 922 districts with a note that province centres are not included, plus 404 towns and 18,249 villages. This release publishes 973 districts from the YSK ilçe belediye başkanı list, not the yearbook’s 922.

Gap. Proclaimed candidacies for the next presidential and parliamentary elections are not on this page. No Supreme Election Council list of 2028 candidates was read on 17 October 2026.
