Mardin is an electoral district of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey.
It elects six members of parliament (deputies) to represent the province of the same name for a four-year term by the D'Hondt method, a party-list proportional representation system.
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.
Mardin's seat allocation has varied little over the last sixty years, keeping around the six seats it has today.
There are currently six sitting members of parliament representing Mardin, three of which are from the governing party.
Van was a district where the pro-Kurdish Peace and Democracy Party (BDP) ran independent candidates in an attempt to overcome the 10 percent national electoral threshold.
Three independent candidates were elected here in 2011; two have since joined the BDP.
