General elections were held in Turkey on 26 March 1939. [1] The Republican People's Party was the only party in the country at the time. Voter turnout was reported to be 77.8%. [2]
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. [3]
