Elections are indispensable elements for democracy. Although the existence of elections is not sufficient for democracy, it is impossible to consider a government as “democratic” without elections. However, in order for a regime to be considered democratic, elections must have a number of qualities. Accordingly, elections should be free, fair and reliable. Indeed, going to the polls periodically is not the only criterion for a government to qualify as democratic. In order to speak of free, fair and reliable elections, it is vital that the institutions and mechanisms that will make the elections free, fair and reliable are included in the electoral legislation. Since the Supreme Election Council is the supreme authority on electoral disputes from the beginning of the electoral calendar, a legislation regarding the organization, functioning and working order of it is of great importance. First of all, this article deals with the Law No. 7062 on Organization and Duties of the Supreme Election Council within the framework of these criteria. Secondly, within the scope of the legislation on electoral law and the decisions of the Supreme Election Council, it will be argued whether or not the new regulation meets the requirements of the electoral law.
