The election economy has passed to the
literature of economics as the economic appearance of political structure’s populist
policies. In the period of 2002-2018 12 elections and referendums took place in
Turkey. 5 general elections, 1 presidential election, 3 local elections, and 3
plebiscites were done in sixteen years.

According to the definition of M.Eğilmez
in his article with the title ‘’The Election Economy’’; it can be described as the
government’s using and directing means of the economy for this purpose in order
to come into power again in the next elections. Increases in the wages
of officers, raising pensions and minimum wages, agricultural supports,
decreasing tax rates, remitting tax penalties and delaying tax payments are the
main means of the election economy using fiscal policy.

In every electoral period, treasury
grants given to the political parties and election expenses have increased
public burden significantly.
