General elections were held inTurkey on 28 February 1943.[1] They were the last single-party elections in the country, as theRepublican People's Party was theonly party in the country at the time.
The elections were held under theOttoman 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 theTurkish Grand National Assembly.[2]
