A single ballot box served Yankaya at the 2023 parliamentary election, with 19 registered voters; that places it 41st among the 41 localities of Taşlıçay.
23 people voted at that election. Yeşil Sol Parti took the most votes with 17; AK Parti followed with 3. Yeşil Sol Parti's share here is 10.9 points above the district average. In the presidential runoff, 19 of 23 valid votes went to Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu — 13.8 points above the district average. At the 2017 referendum 14 of 16 valid votes were 'no' — 29.3 points above the district average.
The neighborhood has stayed on the same line since 2015: the same political line has finished first in all of the last 5 elections (Yeşil Sol Parti in 2015, HDP in 2019, DEM Parti in 2024).
