Under the 1982 Constitution, what is the electoral threshold (seƧim barajı) for political parties to enter the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM), as revised in 2022?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. of valid national votes
- Step 1: Historically, TĆ¼rkiye had a 10% nationwide electoral threshold established after the 1980 coup to ensure governmental stability.
- Step 2: In March 2022, Law No. 7393 amended the electoral law, lowering the national threshold from 10% to 7%.
- Step 3: Parties within an electoral alliance that collectively clears 7% can secure seats.
Answer
7% of valid national votes.
Why not the others: 10% was the previous threshold from 1983 to 2022; 5% and 3% are thresholds in other European nations.
