Members

A population review of every electoral district is conducted before each general election, which can lead to certain districts being granted a smaller or greater number of parliamentary seats. Tunceli has elected two members of parliament since 1961; previously, it elected three.

There are currently two sitting members of parliament representing Tunceli, both from the Republican People's Party (CHP).
