The Status of Political Parties Which Have Presented Candidates in More than Half of the Total Provinces

(3rd Article of Law 3757 amended on 24 August 1991) In case a political party presents candidates in more than half of the total provinces in accordance with Article 12 but fails to present the required number of candidates in one or more constituencies, the Supreme Board of Elections notifies the relevant central organizations of that party concerning the deficiency.

The relevant political party organization fills the empty candidatures within two days following this notification. Otherwise, that political party loses its right to stand for elections in those constituencies where it has failed to present the necessary number of candidates, reserving the provision of the above article.
