(1st Article of Law 2234, amended 17 May 1979.) (45th Article of Law 5375, amended 29 June 2005) District Electoral Board is formed in the last week of January every two years and it is composed of a chairman, six regular and six substitute members, to serve for a term of two years. The top senior judge in the district is the chairman of the District Electoral Board. The board convenes with its regular members. When a regular member is not present in a meeting, his substitute is called to replace him.

The judge who is the second senior judge following the top senior one appointed as the chairman of the Provincial Electoral Board, presides the central District Electoral Board in the centre of the province.

In counties whose populations are over 25.000, it is possible to establish temporary District Electoral Boards, composed of people trained by the chairman and at least one member in order to distribute and collect election documents, obtain and deliver the combined results from the Polling Station Committees to the related District Electoral Boards. These boards are composed of a chairman and six members. The most senior judges after those who have been appointed in the Provincial and District Electoral Boards previously, preside these boards. The chairman of the board appoints two members from amongst civil servants. Four members together with their substitutes are obtained from political parties according to the provisions stated in the 19th Article. The decisions on how these boards will implement their tasks according to which principles, where and how many of them are going to be established for which period, are taken by the Supreme Board of Elections.

The ranks of the judges are determined according to the 15th Article of Law 2802. However, judges those have been condemned or forfeited due to serious indiscipline, are considered less senior in this rank determination.
