Data Usage Terms
This page sets out the terms under which you may use Sandık Atlası data. The aim is to keep the data open to citizens and researchers while preserving the integrity and sustainability of the source.
Source and added value
The original source of the numerical election data is officially the Supreme Election Council (YSK) and is public. Sandık Atlası cleans, normalizes and aggregates this raw data at ballot box → neighborhood → district → province level and aligns it into a single series. The terms below apply to this compiled and processed data layer of Sandık Atlası.
