The outcome (in %) of the Turkish local elections before 1980 (1963-1977) is shown below. (In 1981 all parties were closed by the military rule. For the local elections after 1980, see Turkish local elections after 1980.) In the local elections in addition to mayors and muhtars, members of local parliaments (Turkish: il genel meclisi) are elected. The voter base of the local parliaments and the national parliament is assumed to be identical. In the table, only those parties which received more than 1% are shown.
