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

[edit]

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]
