Özet:

Political participation and in relation with this elections, escpecially the local elections are inevitable elements of democratic and spcecially the liberal democratic regimes. Of course democracy can not be reduced only to the elections. However, there can be no democracy without elections. People defines the political structure of the society and appoints the political elites as the representatives at the elections.On the other hand, when somebody talks of democracy first comes to mind the states of Ancient Greece. Yet the world's most democratic nation, is the ancient Turks. It was aimed to analyse the last two Turkish local elections. One of them held at the 29th March 2009. The last one realised at the 30th of March 2014. A comparative perspective was used to realise the aim. Documentary and historical research techniques were employed to gather the data. Findigs clearly shows that the participation level was extremely high at the both two elections, especially at the final one. The Justice and Development Party which is the ruling party was completed as the leader of the elections. On the other hand, it is easy to observe an obvious supremacy of the right wing at all over the Turkey.
