Candidate-based map
Readers first ask "who won", then want to know about their own province and district. A map showing winner, turnout and change views with province-district detail answers both questions on the same screen.
KEYDAL Seçim
Presidential Election Software
The presidential election is held between candidates, not parties, and can go to two rounds. This structure demands different things from software that will publish the results. KEYDAL Seçim is a hosted platform that presents the official results of presidential elections with province and district breakdowns.
Coming soon · final pre-sale quality tests underway
How Does the Presidential Election Work?
Under Constitution Art. 101 and Law No. 6271, Art. 4, the candidate who receives an absolute majority of valid votes is elected President. If this majority is not reached in the first round, a second round between the two candidates who received the most votes in the first round is held on the second Sunday following that round.
The President's term of office is five years, and a person can be elected at most twice (Constitution Art. 101). Under Constitution Art. 77, the presidential election is held on the same day as the parliamentary election.
In Türkiye, presidential elections by direct popular vote began in 2014. KEYDAL Seçim's archive covers this period, i.e. the presidential elections from 2014 to 2023; the 2023 election went to a runoff and was decided on 28 May 2023.
What to Look for in Software for Presidential Results?
Presenting the two rounds separately
The runoff is a separate vote held two weeks after the first round. Each round's results should be presented on their own page without mixing them up; otherwise readers lose track of which vote they are looking at.
Benchmarking against the past
How a province changed from one election to the next is among the most-read analyses of a presidential election. Province comparison and vote trends over time back this analysis with data.
Election Night Broadcasting Rules
The basic rules to follow when publishing presidential election results are set out in Law No. 298:
| Period | Rule |
|---|---|
| Campaigning | In the presidential election, campaigning runs from the finalization of the candidate list until 18:00 on the day before voting day (Law No. 6271, Art. 13). |
| The 10 days before voting day | Opinion polls and predictions may not be published (Law No. 298, Art. 55/B). |
| Until 18:00 on voting day | No news, predictions or commentary about election results may be published (Law No. 298, Art. 80). |
| 18.00-21.00 | Only YSK announcements may be published (Law No. 298, Art. 80). |
| After 21:00 | Broadcasting is unrestricted (Law No. 298, Art. 80). |
