About this election
Electoral system and alliances
Members were elected by D'Hondt proportional representation in provincial constituencies. A 2018 law formalised electoral alliances, allowing parties to pool their votes against the 10% national threshold: a party below 10% could still win seats if its alliance as a whole cleared the bar. This let the MHP and the small parties survive, and it reshaped the contest into a battle between the AKP–MHP People's Alliance and the CHP–İYİ–Felicity Nation Alliance, with the HDP standing apart.
