One of the important steps in understanding the obstacles that women encounter in politics is the collection of gender-disaggregated data. This study aims to provide a comparative analysis of the lists of finalized candidates and Members of Parliament (MP) for the 2018 and 2023 General Elections in Türkiye and to present a detailed gender-disaggregated data set and analysis. In line with this purpose, detailed information on the finalized candidates and MPs in the 2018 and 2023 General Elections was collected and then analyzed with an interpretive approach using the statistics software IBM SPSS 23. This information included candidates’ and MPs’ political party, demographic characteristics (sex, age, education, occupation, marital status, number of children), political experience, and women’s association/movement affiliation.
