Undoubtedly, general, equal and secret voting principles, free elections and systems in which political parties or candidates can compete on equal terms are essential for the establishment of a strong and qualified democratic regime. Today\u2019s contemporary democracies seem to apply the aforementioned principles and, in some cases, allow cheating within the system. One of these practices that cause the democratization to be unqualified is gerrymandering. Gerrymandering refers to the regulation of the electoral environment in favor of the political power or a certain group. With the Gerrymandering method, the party in power plays with the constituency in order to increase its own votes or decrease the rival votes. In this study, Law No. 6360 will be shown as an example to the gerrymandering practices, which we encountered mostly during the Democratic Party period in Turkey. In the study, the hypotheses that the partisan gerrymandering practice brought by the Law No. 6360 gave results in favor of the AK Party and resulted in unfair results in representation were defended.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; font-size: 15px\"><strong>Keywords: <\/strong> Elections, Election cheating, Gerrymandering, Partizan gerrymandering, Law no. 6360<\/p>\n<table bgcolor=\"transparent\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border-bottom: 1px dashed gray;\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: none; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'minion pro', arial, sans-serif;\">Ali \u00c7i\u00e7ek<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: none; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'minion pro', arial, sans-serif;\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.29224\/insanveinsan.1142025\">DOI: 10.29224\/insanveinsan.1142025<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: none; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'minion pro', arial, sans-serif;\"><a title=\"Issue 34, Fall 2022\" href=\"\/en\/sayi-34-guz-2022\/\">Year 9, Issue 34, Fall 2022<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-119 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/pdf-e1407190133528.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: none; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'minion pro', arial, sans-serif;\">Tam metin \/ Full text<br \/>\n(Turkish) <\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 230px;\">\n<span style=\"text-decoration: none; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'minion pro', arial, sans-serif;\"><\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; width: 20px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-width:0\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/izleme-icon.png\"><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: none; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'minion pro', arial, sans-serif;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; width: 40px;\">[post-views]<\/div>\n<div style=\"float: left; width: 20px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-width:0\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/indirme-icon.png\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"float: left; width: 145px;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: none; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'minion pro', arial, sans-serif;\"><div class=\"sdm_download_count\"><span class=\"sdm_count_number\">422<\/span><span class=\"sdm_count_string\"> Downloads<\/span><\/div><\/span><\/div>\n<p><br style=\"clear: left;\"><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"sdm_download_button_box_default\"><div class=\"sdm_download_link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.insanveinsan.org\/?sdm_process_download=1&download_id=5141\" class=\"sdm_download grey\" title=\"(Turkish) 34-4 Ali \u00c7i\u00e7ek\" target=&quot;_blank&quot;>Download Now!<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<table bgcolor=\"transparent\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border-bottom: 1px dashed gray;\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: none; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'minion pro', arial, sans-serif;\"> <a rel=\"license\" href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc\/4.0\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Creative Commons License\" style=\"border-width:0\" src=\"https:\/\/i.creativecommons.org\/l\/by-nc\/4.0\/80x15.png\" \/><\/a><br \/>This work is licensed under a <a rel=\"license\" href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc\/4.0\/\">Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License<\/a>.<\/span><br \/>\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ali \u00c7i\u00e7ek Abstract: The quality of contemporary democracies can only be possible if the will of the people is freely reflected in the institutions of representation and electoral law is based on the universal values of democracy.
