Niğde is an electoral district of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey. It elects three members of parliament (deputies) to represent the province of the same name for a four-year term by the D'Hondt method, a party-list proportional representation system.

Members

Population reviews of each electoral district are conducted before each general election, which can lead to certain districts being granted a smaller or greater number of parliamentary seats.

Niğde is a shrinking electoral district, having for many years been represented by five members. Since the 1999 general election it has had three members of parliament in Ankara.
