2.1 General Information about and Main Objectives of
Computer Supported Central Voter Registry System
(SEÇSİS) Project
SEÇSİS is one of the most important projects, Turkey has completed on the way of being
an e‐government and concerns nearly 70% of Turkey’s population. In SEÇSİS, voter data
are held on a central database based on Turkish Republic Identification Number.
Plebiscite, Village Demarche, Village Elders elections works on all district election councils
(about 769 places) which has judicial organized group since 02.10.2006. The project was
successfully used in the XXIII Term Senator Elections made on 22 July 2007 and for
presenting the change of constitution to referendum on 21.10.2007.
In the scope of SEÇSİS project, online secure computer communication between host
(Data Processing Center of High Election Council) and clients (district election councils) is
being provided via UYAP local and satellite substitutable network infrastructure.
Depending on the Turkish Republic Identification Number, voter’s and candidate’s
identification data are being provided online from Identity and Address Sharing System
conducted by Ministry of Interior. Results of the XXIII Term Senator Elections firstly
published in detail of each ballot box data with transparent government mentality on
YSK’s Internet site.
By YSK, the main objectives of SEÇSİS are listed as:
 Transferring the identity and address information of the voters to computer
environment on the basis of “Turkish Republic Identification Number,”
 Saving the voter roll securely in an accurate, update, consistent manner and in
centralized structure as a whole in computer environment and using it in the
elections,

3. Evaluation of SEÇSİS in accordance with eGovernment
Economics Project (eGEP)
3.1 Evaluation of SEÇSİS in accordance with eGEP
Indicators
As “∆ %” values are not available and accessible, I have made my evaluations whether
SEÇSİS provides related benefit or not.
That is, instead of “∆ %” values, I used “+” if SEÇSİS promises any
benefits/improvements regarding the indicator, “-” if SEÇSİS does not promise any
benefits/improvements regarding the indicator, and “?” if it is not known whether SEÇSİS
promises any benefits/improvements regarding the indicator. Additionally, for each “+”,
“-“ and “?” characterization, I have provided example/explanations.
