Abstract:
Today, transparency is considered as one of the elements for achieving good governance. The purpose of transparency is to ensure the public’s right to information, hold officials accountable, encourage public participation, address issues and structures, and prevent corruption. For this reason, the promotion of transparency in elections, which is one of the most common tools for gaining power in democratic systems, is justifiable. A transparent electoral system places actions and decisions in the public eye, helping electoral participants to bear responsibility for their decisions effectively. Thus, the transparency metric in elections can encompass both candidates as well as observers and administrators. In the General Policies on Elections, as an overarching document, the requirements for a transparent electoral system have been outlined. Based on this premise, this article aims to answer the question, to what extent does the legal framework of presidential elections ensure the General Policies of Elections in terms of transparency? The findings of the paper indicate that the laws relating to presidential elections have deficiencies that need to be remedied based on the General Policies on Elections.
