Members

Population reviews of each electoral district are conducted before each general election, which can lead to certain districts being granted a smaller or greater number of parliamentary seats. The number of seats allocated to Tokat fluctuated between six and seven seats in the last twenty years. It has now dropped to five seats, its lowest level yet.
