When is the Turkey general election 2028?

Polling day is 2028-05-07, not yet officially confirmed.

When will the final result of the President of the Republic (first round) race be official?

Expected between 2028-05-08T21:00:00Z and 2028-05-21T20:59:59Z (UTC), confidence precedent. Law 6271 art. 20(1): 'Cumhurbaşkanı seçiminin kesin sonuçları, Yüksek Seçim Kurulu tarafından ... kamuoyuna ilân edilir ve Resmî Gazetede yayımlanır'; the law sets no deadline. Objections against provincial tally sheets reach the YSK up to the third day after the sheet is drawn up, 17:00 (Law 298 art. 130). Precedent: 2023 first round (14 May) - YSK decision 2023/1091 of Fri 19 May 2023, Resmî Gazete 32195 (Mükerrer), day 5, declaring no outright winner and the two candidates for the second round; 2018 (24 Jun, outright winner) - YSK decision 952 of 4 Jul 2018, Resmî Gazete 30468 (Mükerrer), day 10 (issue index read on resmigazete.gov.tr; contents per press reports). If a second round is needed, the YSK must declare round-1 results before it (2023: day 5); if a candidate wins outright, 2018 took 10 days. The window closes at the end of day 14 (Sun 21 May 2028 local), four days past the slower precedent. The opening (start of Tue 9 May) is an ESTIMATED floor. YSK decisions are final and cannot be appealed to any other body (Constitution art. 79), so there is no court-validation stage.

When will the final result of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey race be official?

Expected between 2028-05-08T21:00:00Z and 2028-06-07T20:59:59Z (UTC), confidence precedent. Law 2839 art. 37(3): once tally sheets from all provinces are in, the YSK publishes 'en kısa zamanda' a second communiqué in the Resmî Gazete with the elected members and the votes of each party and independent candidate; no fixed deadline. Elected members receive their certificate from the provincial board (art. 36). Precedent: 2023 (14 May) - YSK decision 2023/1255 of Tue 30 May 2023, Resmî Gazete 32206 (Mükerrer), day 16, two days after the presidential second round; 2018 (24 Jun) - YSK decisions 952-953 of 4 Jul 2018, Resmî Gazete 30468 (Mükerrer), day 10 (issue index read; contents per press reports). The window closes at the end of day 31 (Wed 7 Jun 2028 local), about two weeks past the slower precedent. The opening is an ESTIMATED floor. YSK decisions are final (Constitution art. 79): no court-validation stage. Turkey has a presidential system: the President appoints ministers without a confidence vote, so no government stage.

precedent

Law 298 art. 89: voting runs 'saat sekizden on yediye kadar' (08:00-17:00); the YSK may move the opening and closing hours, keeping the duration, if it announces this at least a week before polling day. Turkey keeps UTC+3 all year (no DST), so 17:00 local is 14:00 UTC. Counting starts in each ballot-box committee when voting ends (art. 96: the box cannot be opened before 17:00). 2023 precedent: on Mon 15 May 2023 the YSK chairman announced provisional (geçici) results, with domestic ballot boxes 100% opened as of 15:15 (NTV, 15 May 2023, 15:39). The window closes at the end of Monday 8 May 2028 local time, after that precedent. Provisional, not the YSK's final decision.

estimate

Polls close at 17:00 local, 14:00 UTC (Law 298 art. 89; YSK may shift the hours with a week's notice). Law 2839 art. 37: as provincial election boards report, the YSK broadcasts the figures 'bekletmeden radyo ve televizyon ile derhal'; once all provinces have reported, it announces the seats won by each party and the names of those elected, without waiting for certified copies or objections. The window copies the 2023 presidential precedent (provisional results announced on 15 May 2023 afternoon, NTV); no separate precedent for the parliamentary provisional count was read, so this is an ESTIMATE. Provisional, not the YSK's final decision.
