INFO.1Statutory ballot information pamphletIs there a statutory requirement to publish a voter pamphlet (or analog) with candidate and ballot-question information, with content and distribution defined?	1/1100.0%	Law 298 Article 44 codifies the 'seçmen bilgi kağıdı' (voter information slip): 'Seçmen kütüğünde kayıtlı her seçmen için, seçmene hangi seçim bölgesinde, kaç numaralı sandıkta oy vereceğini, seçmen sıra numarası ve diğer bilgileri bildirmek amacıyla bir seçmen bilgi kağıdı hazırlanır' — every registered voter receives an individual info slip telling them their election district, ballot-box number, and voter sequence number.	§ view source 2026-05-17
INFO.2Multilingual ballot requirementAre the triggers for multilingual ballots and voter materials set by statute (population thresholds, language-minority criteria)?	0/10.0%	No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Law 2820 Article 81 EXPLICITLY PROHIBITS parties from claiming the existence of linguistic minorities or from protecting/developing/spreading non-Turkish languages. Combined with Anayasa Article 3 (Turkish is the sole official language), no multilingual-ballot framework exists — bilingual triggers are not codified because the underlying premise (recognition of language minorities) is constitutionally barred.	§ view source 2026-05-17

CAND.1Candidate-filing public accessAre candidate-filing documents (nominating petitions, eligibility certifications) required by statute to be publicly accessible within a defined time?	1/1100.0%	Law 6271 Article 10 codifies public access: provisional candidate lists are published in the Resmî Gazete with a 2-day appeal window; final candidate lists are also published in the Resmî Gazete after YSK's 3-day decision. Reinforced by Article 8/A (presidential nomination requirements public), Law 2972 Article 12 (local-election candidate lists posted publicly).	§ view source 2026-05-17
CAND.2Candidate disqualification publicationIf a candidate is disqualified or withdraws after the ballot is printed, is the public-notice procedure codified in statute?	1/1100.0%	Law 6271 Article 8 codifies presidential candidate disqualification publication: YSK announces accepted candidates after review; Article 10 publishes final candidate lists in the Resmî Gazete after appeal-period closes. Reinforced by Law 2839 Article 17 (YSK announces candidacy-driven board-member departures).	§ view source 2026-05-17

NOTIF.1Pre-election notice in statuteIs the requirement to notify voters of an upcoming election (date, polling place, registration deadline) set in statute with timing and content defined?	1/1100.0%	Law 298 Ek Madde 1 codifies the pre-election notice requirement: 'Yüksek Seçim Kurulu tarafından, Türkiye Radyoları vasıtasıyla, haber yayınları saatinde veya başka uygun saatlerde yayımlanacak bildirilerle' — YSK announces upcoming elections via Türkiye Radyoları (TRT) state radio, awakening citizen interest and reminding voters of their duties. Combined with Article 36 (March voter-register posting), the pre-election notice regime is statutorily defined.	§ view source 2026-05-17
NOTIF.2Polling-place change noticeIf a voter's polling place changes between elections, is there a statutory requirement to provide individual notice within a defined timeframe?	0/10.0%	No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: FTS candidates surface general voter-education broadcasts (Ek Madde 1), district-board composition (Law 2820 Madde 41), Wikisource-style internal party meetings (Madde 21), transitional provisions (Law 2839 Madde 62), overseas voter procedures (94/C), and voter-list posting (123). NONE codify an individual polling-place-change notice mandate. Turkish voters check the YSK web portal or seçmen bilgi kağıdı each election cycle to confirm their assigned ballot box.	§ view source 2026-05-17
