T\u00fcrkey is a party to major international and regional human rights instruments related to the conduct of democratic elections.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The electoral legal framework was most recently revised in March 2022 by Law no. 7393, which introduced several amendments to various electoral and political party laws. The amendments included several notable changes, such as lowering the electoral threshold for parliamentary elections, revising the methods of determining parliamentary seat allocation and political party eligibility, and updating campaign limitations for public officials, procedures for the appointment of electoral boards and certain aspects of voter registration.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Presidential Elections Statute<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The Presidential Elections Statute numbered 6271, adopted on 19\u2019th January 2012, \u00a0regulate methods and principles of elections of President, specifications of presidential candidates, transactions that should be undertaken prior to elections, on election day and after election.\u00a0 Supreme Election Council determines and announces electoral calendar exofficio in order that election is completed within the periods provided for in belowmentioned norms.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Constitutional amendment of 2017<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The Constitutional amendment of 2017, made under conditions of a state of emergency regime, has introduced a new system the presidential system of government named \u201c<em>Turkish-style presidential system<\/em>\u201d. The governmental system brought about by the constitutional amendment does not in any way resemble a standard presidential system. There is a strict separation of powers in the presidential system, which is absent from Turkey\u2019s Presidential System. The checks and balances are completely bypassed. The President has the power to renew the elections, to appoint vice presidents and ministers, senior government officials and members to the Council of Judges and Prosecutors; these powers are not checked by any other body, they are unlimited and unconditional. The party-member presidency came into effect with the Constitutional Amendments of 2017, as a result, the President is not above party politics anymore, but a major arbiter of everyday politics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The Parliament\u2019s power over the budget, another important check against the executive, has also lost its efficacy. The powers of the Parliament regarding the Budget Law have been limited. If the Budget Law Proposal, presented by the President, is not discussed and put into effect in time by the Parliament, the budget of the previous year will be adapted to the current year\u2019s inflation and put into effect. In this way, the executive will never be without a budget; the legislature will not be able to use the budget as a check and balance against the executive, and it will be ineffectual with regards to the budget as far as the President is concerned.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Presidential election of 2018 <\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The \u201cPresidential System of Government\u201d has came into effect as a result of Turkey\u2019s presidential and parliamentary elections of 2018 which took place under the state of emergency regime.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Authority v. individual freedoms<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Even prior to the adoption of the Presidential System of Government, the 1982 constitution bestowed a great deal of power on the executive and the President as a result of the political conditions that produced it, in order to provide stability; it did so to such a degree that the executive overshadowed the other powers. The constitution favours authority as opposed to individual freedoms; this is particularly revealed by the excessive power bestowed by it to the executive, and to the President\u2019s authority. This power reveals itself exponentially during times of state of emergency.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The adoption of the Presidential System of Government in Turkey is negative development in terms of the principles of democracy, the area of rights and freedoms, and the rule of law.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Turkey is facing a series of very serious dilemmas regarding democratic governance. For the large part these dilemmas are caused by the Constitution\u2019s authoritarian contents, or even the process of \u201cdeconstitutionalisation\u201d. Pressure groups and social opposition balance political rule in democratic governance; their underdevelopment is one of the fundamental deficiencies of Turkey\u2019s democracy. The electoral system and the regime of political parties stand in the way of democratic politics and so democratic governance. The parliamentary majority is weakened through the electoral system and the regime of political parties, and the opposition cannot fulfil its function of negotiation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Under Turkey\u2019s Presidential System of Government, the horizontal separation of powers, especially where the legislative and the judicial branches are concerned, is largely lost.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">General principles to be implemented in election\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">President is elected by public.\u00a0 The election is executed equal and secret ballot on the same day throughout the country under the management and monitoring of jurisdiction. The voting of the Turkish citizens living overseas is undertaken The voter casts his\/her vote himself and in full freedom. Counting, tabulating and preparing minutes for the votes are made in open. Supreme Election Council, from the beginning till the end of elections, is authorized to make or to have it made all necessary transactions for the proper management and honesty of elections, to take necessary principal decisions, when considered necessary to shorten all durations defined in laws, and to determine and announce.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Electoral period, starting of electoral period, and end of elections<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Elections for President and the Turkish Grand National Assembly is made on the same day every five years. One person can be elected as President two times at most. However, in the event that the Assembly decides to renew elections in the second term of the President, the President may stand for elections one more time. The last Sunday before the end of the tenure of President and the Turkish Grand National Assembly is voting day. Tenure is determined based on the previous election date made together. The first day of sixty-day period counted backwards starting from the voting day is the starting date of election.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">In the event that it is decided to renew elections, this decision is announced by being published in Official Gazette in forty-eight hours. Election for President and general election for the Turkish Grand National Assembly are made collectively on the first Sunday following the sixtieth day coming after this decision is made. In the event that Presidential position is emptied for any reason and there is one year or less time left to general election for the Turkish Grand National Assembly, Presidential election is made on the first Sunday following the sixtieth day coming after the position is emptied, with general elections of the Turkish Grand National Assembly. In the event that Presidential position is emptied for any reason and there is more than one year left to general election for the Turkish Grand National Assembly, Presidential election is made on the last Sunday within the forty-five days coming after the position is emptied. The President who is elected in this way carries out his duty until the election day of the Turkish Grand National Assembly. This period is not counted as term for the President who completes the period left.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Electoral system and its application<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">In the election to be made with general ballot, the candidate taking absolute majority of valid votes is elected as President. If this majority cannot be constituted in the first voting, the second voting is made on the second Sunday following this voting. The two candidates taking the most votes in the first voting participate in this voting and the candidate taking the majority of the valid votes is elected as President.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">In the event that one of the candidates who has right to participate in the second voting fails to participate in voting for any reason, the second voting is made by substituting the emptied candidacy according to the ranking in the first voting. However, substitution can be made until 17:00 p.m. of the day following announcement of temporary results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">In the event that voting is made with one candidate, it is made as referendum. The candidate taking absolute majority of valid votes is elected as President. In the event that candidate fails to take absolute majority of valid votes, election is renewed and only Presidential election is made on the first Sunday following the forty fifth day coming after announcement of definite results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">In the events that tenure of President is completed or it is decided to renew elections or elections cannot be completed, the existing President continues to duty until new President comes into office.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">When one is elected as President, his membership of the Turkish Grand National Assembly ends, if any. Presidential candidates must be at least 40 years of age and have a higher education.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Right to vote<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Citizens over 18 years of age have the right to vote, except for citizens declared legally incompetent or banned from public service by court, prisoners convicted of intentional crimes regardless of the severity, and active military personnel,<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Legal counsel capable of advising on campaign and election laws\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Our attorneys have published articles and monographs around the world on a wide variety of constitutional issues.
