Presidential elections Parliamentary elections The following sections give list of key results. At first,
Turkey had a unicameral legislature, with the main chamber being the
Grand National Assembly of Turkey. This lasted until 1961, when the new
Constitution of 1961 replaced the previous unicameral (one house) system with a
bicameral (two house) one. The
Grand National Assembly was downgraded to the position of the lower house whilst the newly founded
Senate of the Republic became the upper house. However, the
constitution of 1982 abolished the Senate and Turkey once again adopted a unicameral system.
Senate elections 1961–80 Local elections The
Turkish administrative system defines three different district types for local elections:
villages,
cities and
metropolitan cities. The difference between cities and metropolitan cities derives from the size of the population. Cities with more than 750,000 residents are labeled as metropolitan cities while the rest are simply called cities. There are 31 metropolitan cities and 50 cities across Turkey, and voters in both will have a total of four votes. Citizens have the opportunity to vote for the following offices, depending on the type of area they reside: People living in
metropolitan cities: • Metropolitan mayor • District mayor • District council members •
