EAdIElection Administration Index

No candidate sections returned by FTS.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Anayasa Article 79 establishes YSK with a FINALITY clause: 'Yüksek Seçim Kurulunun kararları aleyhine başka bir mercie başvurulamaz' (YSK decisions cannot be appealed to any other authority). Although Anayasa Article 125 (5247) opens judicial review for OTHER administrative acts, YSK acts are constitutionally exempted — a structural gap on judicial review of the election authority's decisions.

Law 298 Article 10 codifies the 3-tier YSK hierarchy in STATUTE: 'In Ankara one Supreme Election Council, in each electoral district one provincial election board, in each district one district election board, and one ballot-box committee for each ballot box.' Note: full constitutional grounding exists in Anayasa Article 79 but was not surfaced by FTS for this datapoint — scoring at the statutory level.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Anayasa Article 79 places elections under judicial-organ supervision. YSK is composed of 7 members elected by the Yargıtay (Court of Cassation) and Danıştay (Council of State) general assemblies — BOTH judicial bodies (same branch). Not multi-branch composition. Madde 41 of Law 2820 (5546) describes district-board mixed civil-servant + party-member composition but the supreme authority (YSK) is single-branch.

Law 298 Article 18 codifies fixed statutory terms for district election boards: 'iki yılda bir ocak ayının son haftasında, bir başkan ile altı asıl ve altı yedek üyeden kurulur ve iki yıl süre ile görev yapar' — every 2 years in the last week of January, 1 chair + 6 main + 6 alternates, 2-year term. Reinforced by Madde 19 (party-member assignment rules) and Madde 23 (ballot-box-committee terms).

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: FTS candidates for COMM.4 surface ballot-paper preparation rules (Law 2972 Madde 18, Law 2839 Madde 26), propaganda rules (Law 6271 Madde 13, Law 298 Madde 55/B), and transitional provisions — none address commission political balance. (District boards include 2 party-members per Madde 19 of Law 298 but that wasn't surfaced here.)

Law 298 Article 181 codifies a separate statutory line item: 'Yüksek Seçim Kurulu giderleri ile her türlü seçim işleri giderleri genel bütçeden ödenir. Bunun için gerekli ödenek Adalet Bakanlığı Bütçesi içindeki ayrı bir programda gösterilir' — YSK and all election-related expenses are paid from the general budget through a SEPARATE PROGRAM within the Ministry of Justice budget.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: FTS candidates surface party Treasury-subsidy provisions (Law 2820 Ek Madde 1), presidential term (Anayasa 101), AYM composition (Anayasa 146), district-board composition (Law 298 Madde 19), executive provisions — none codify a multi-year budget cycle for election administration.

Law 6271 Article 14(1) prohibits presidential candidates from accepting donations/aid from foreign states, international organizations, legal entities, and non-Turkish-national natural persons. Reinforced by Law 2820 Article 79 (party foreign-funding prohibition with strong national-sovereignty framing), Article 66 (state-sector source prohibition), Article 116 (6 months–1 year imprisonment for accepting prohibited donations). Comprehensive foreign-funding prohibition.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Law 298 Article 182 governs election-day worker compensation, not career professional-staff civil-service protections. Other candidates (Law 2820 Madde 41 district-board mixed composition, Madde 21 of Law 2839 candidate filing, Law 6271 Madde 11 candidates' civil-service resignation rule) do not codify election-authority staff merit protections.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: FTS surfaces Anayasa 130 (university education), Law 298 Ek Madde 1 (YSK voter-education broadcasts via Turkish Radio), Madde 18 (district-board composition), Ek Madde 9 (electronic result transmission), Anayasa 174 (secular-reform laws) — none codify a statutory training mandate for election officials/poll workers.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Law 298 Article 82 governs ballot-box-area order maintenance, Article 132 covers YSK records-inquiry, Articles 130/166 cover challenge procedures — none codify whistleblower protection for staff reporting irregularities.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Turkey uses paper ballots only — no voting-equipment certification regime exists. Candidates surface ballot-box sealing (Madde 77), tamper penalties (Madde 164), overseas board duties (20/A), voter-ID requirements (Madde 87), counting procedure (Madde 100) — none are equipment certification.
