- Abstract: In the context of Turkey's upcoming parliamentary and presidential elections
("se\c{c}im" in Turkish), social media is playing an important role in shaping
public debate. The increasing engagement of citizens on social media platforms
has led to the growing use of social media by political actors. It is of utmost
importance to capture the upcoming Turkish elections, as social media is
becoming an essential component of election propaganda, political debates,
smear campaigns, and election manipulation by domestic and international
actors. We provide a comprehensive dataset for social media researchers to
study the upcoming election, develop tools to prevent online manipulation, and
gather novel information to inform the public. We are committed to continually
improving the data collection and updating it regularly leading up to the
election. Using the Secim2023 dataset, researchers can examine the social and
communication networks between political actors, track current trends, and
investigate emerging threats to election integrity. Our dataset is available
