What is the minimum voting age and the minimum age of eligibility for election as a deputy to the TBMM in Türkiye?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. 18 years for both

  1. Step 1: Every Turkish citizen who has reached the age of 18 has the constitutional right to vote.
  2. Step 2: The candidacy age for parliamentary elections was also reduced from 25 to 18 by the 2017 constitutional referendum.
Answer
18 years for both.
Why not the others: '18 to vote and 21 to run' reflects intermediate proposals; '18 to vote and 25 to run' was the rule between 2006 and 2017; '21 to vote and 30 to run' was the original 1982 threshold.
