Population reviews of each electoral district are conducted before each general election, which can lead to certain districts being granted a smaller or greater number of parliamentary seats. Ağrı elected four members in 1999. This rose to five in 2002 and 2007 before being reduced back down to four MPs in the 2011 general election.
