A face-to-face survey was conducted in Gaziantep with 495 participants
in order to investigate the effect of political communication tools on voters'
voting preferences in the constitutional amendment referendum of April 16th,
2017. Binary Logistics Regression analysis showed that a unit increase in the
level of influence from leaders' TV speeches increased the likelihood of yes
voting, a unit increase in the level of influence from the rallies increased
the likelihood of yes voting, and a unit increase in the level of influence by
newspaper column writings increased the likelihood of no voting. The specific
characteristics of the Referendums, the importance of the April 16th, 2017
referendum for the Turkish electorate, and the limited work done in this
regard, this work and the results obtained help to fill the gap in the relevant
area.
