The Impact of the 2023 Earthquakes on Türkiye's Presidential and Parliamentary Elections

On 6 February 2023, with a nine-hour interval, two earthquakes measuring 7.8 and 7.5 on the Richter scale struck southern Türkiye. The earthquakes struck approximately four months before the country’s 2023 presidential and legislative elections.

This case study examines the dynamics of holding these contests in the aftermath. It provides information on the legal and institutional background of elections in Türkiye and discusses the practical matters of organizing elections in the post-earthquake context and results, with tentative lessons learned.
