The changes took effect for the 2010 election.
History of the Jews in İzmir
The Jewish community of İzmir (historically known as Smyrna) is situated on the Aegean Sea of Turkey, and it was one of the largest Jewish communities within the Ottoman Empire, with a population of around 30,000 at its peak. Today, the community has around 1,300 people.

The community began to flourish during the 17th century, emerging as an important religious and cultural hub for Sephardic Jews. It also became a center for commercial and industrial activities. Sabbatai Zevi, a self-proclaimed messiah who attracted numerous followers, was from İzmir and significantly influenced the local Jewish population.

By the mid-19th century, the Jewish community in İzmir started to decline because of growing tensions with the Greek population, the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, and conflicts between Greece and Turkey. After the State of Israel was founded in 1948, about 10,000 Jews from Izmir left, which caused many Jewish community institutions to close down during the 1950s and 1960s.
