This law was used with minor amendments in the first years of the Republic. Before the elections at 1946, Electoral Law was substantially altered and for the first time, the elections were going to be committed as singlestage instead of doublestage. However, the debate about this new law did not over and continued till the elections at 1950. In the summer of 1949, amendment on the law came back to agenda and the “proposal” prepared by the goverment was reviewed by the committee consisted of academics and henceforward known as “Scientific Committee”. At the end of 1949, this committee completed the investigations and presented the new version of the “proposal” to the goverment. This proposal was put to agenda of Parliament in 7 February 1950 and at the end of the continuous negotiations, it was passed and came into force in 16 February 1950. The Parliament elections at 1950 was conducted according to this new law instead of “system of majority” which had been implemented since 1877.}, number={2}
