The elections were held under the Ottoman electoral law passed in 1908,[1] which provided for a two-stage process. In the first stage, voters elected secondary electors (one for the first 750 voters in a constituency, then one for every additional 500 voters). In the second stage the secondary electors elected the members of the Chamber of Deputies. However, a second law was passed on 3 April 1923 lowering the voting age to 18 and abolishing the tax paying requirement.[2]
