General elections were held in
Turkey on 21 July 1946,[1] the first
multi-party general elections in the country's history. The
multiple non-transferable vote electoral system was used.[2] The result was a victory for the
Republican People's Party, which won 395 of the 465 seats. This election was held on the basis of open voting, secret counting and majority system, with the exception of judicial supervision (open vote, secret classification). Due to these irregularities, it has also been referred to as a "fraudulent election".[3][4]
