1939 Turkish General Election
26 March 1939 · The single-party era · 429 seats, 215 for a majority
The elections were held under the Ottoman electoral law passed in 1908, 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).
A two-stage, single-party vote of the early Republic: the Republican People's Party was the only party on the ballot. Recorded here as history, not a competitive election.
