1927 Turkish general election

General elections were held in Turkey in 1927.[1] The Republican People's Party ("Association for the Defense of the Rights of Anatolia and Rumelia" until 9 September 1923) was the only party in the country at the time, as the Progressive Republican Party that had been set up in 1924 was dissolved the following year.[1]

Electoral system

The elections were held under the Ottoman electoral law passed in 1908,[1] 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). In the second stage the secondary electors elected the members of the Turkish Grand National Assembly.[2]

gollark: guys, what if lemmmy *is* yemmel?
gollark: Once PotatOS for x86 is installed on Terra's server, it will use my arbitrary code execution exploit in *string theory* to teleport the server to my house, where it will then run Minecraft for me.
gollark: "I'm bad, but other people are worse! Ignore me and complain at them!"
