Located in the Marmara Region, Kocaeli is a heavily industrialised province and a major population center near Istanbul. Its electoral district has been historically volatile, with different parties holding the majority of seats at various times. The composition of elected MPs reflects the diverse demographic and socioeconomic profile of the province, including a significant working-class population and a mix of ethnic groups.

Elections in Kocaeli follow the national electoral system of proportional representation, with parties needing to pass a national threshold to gain representation. The number of MPs allocated to each party is determined by the D'Hondt method. Local election results in Kocaeli are often viewed as an indicator of national political trends due to the province's demographic diversity and strategic location.
