• Grand National Assembly of Türkiye 600 seats · 5-year term · directly elected by party-list proportional representation using the D'Hondt method, with a 7% national threshold

The President is both head of state and head of government; there is no separately elected prime minister. The President is directly elected for five years by absolute majority, with a runoff if necessary, and may serve a maximum of two terms. Parliamentary and presidential elections normally take place together. Elections are administered and judicially supervised by the YSK, whose decisions on electoral disputes are final. Failure to vote may incur an administrative fine under the electoral law.
