An Evaluation on the Applicability of the Recall Mechanism in the Local Government System of Turkey

Abstract

The challenge of implementing direct democracy, driven by the increasing population, has resulted in representative democracy. In this system, the people's sovereignty is exercised through elected representatives within defined terms. Voters delegate the task of governing on their behalf to various persons or assemblies through general or local elections. However, it is hardly possible for the elected ones to be supervised by the ‘voters’ during their term of office, except in anticipation of the next election. An application called the right to recall (recall) has been developed in many countries of the world for voters who want to keep this consciousness alive by taking into account the relationship between the elected and the voters in the post-election process and reminding them of the responsibilities of the elected to the voters. In its basic form, the recall is a tool that enables voters to remove elected officials from office without waiting for their term of office to expire. Although the recall mechanism has been discussed in various periods in Turkey, it is not applicable due to the fact that it is not included in the current Constitution and laws. The aim of this study is to discuss the applicability of the recall mechanism in Turkey, starting with local governments, and to make an analysis on the positive and negative consequences that are likely
