(1st Article of Law 2234, amended on 17 May 1979) The Supreme Board of Elections is permanently located in Ankara, whereas there is a Provincial Electoral Board for each province, a District Electoral Board for each district and a Polling Station Committee for each polling station zone according to the number allocated in each electoral district. (Annex sentence: Added by Article 1 of Law 5749 on 13 March 2008) A Foreign Country District Electoral Board under the Ankara Provincial electoral Board is constituted in order to manage the election procedures of citizens living abroad. If needed, more than one foreign country district electoral board can be established.


An additional central district electoral board is constituted for the centres of the provinces.


In towns whose populations are over 200.000 in the last census, more than one District Electoral Board is constituted within the village and neighbourhood boundaries (constituencies) respecting the equality in population ratio.
Municipalities within the town boundaries (including the central town municipality) other than provincial municipalities and town municipalities, are affiliated to one of the District Electoral Boards, with their neighbourhoods as a whole without any allocation.
