As far as I understand, independents could also contest these elections, so we cannot assume the CHP won all seats (see e.g. 1935 Turkish general election)

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]
