General elections were held in Turkey on 8 February 1935. [1] The Republican People's Party was the only party in the country at the time.
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]
Following a change in the law in 1934, women were granted the right to vote and run for election, and the age of voting was raised from 18 to 22. [1]
