General elections were held in Turkey in 1923.[1] The Republican People's Party was the only party in the country at the time.
Electoral system
The elections were held under the Ottoman electoral law passed in 1908,[1] which provided for a two-stage process. In the first stage, voters elected secondary electors (one for the first 750 voters in a constituency, then one for every additional 500 voters). In the second stage the secondary electors elected the members of the Chamber of Deputies. However, a second law was passed on 3 April 1923 lowering the voting age to 18 and abolishing the tax-paying requirement.[2]
