The Electronic Democracy Party (Turkish: Elektronik Demokrasi Partisi, abbreviated EDP, eP or e-Parti) is a political party in Turkey which advocates E-democracy and liberalism. It was formed by Emrehan Halıcı, a Member of Parliament from Ankara, on 26 November 2014.[1] Halıcı had previously resigned from the Republican People's Party (CHP).[2] The party highlights the democratic deficit and the lack of inner-party democracy as key areas of concern.[3]

The Electronic Democracy Party is legally inactive according to September 2016 records of the Chief Public Prosecutor's Office.[4]
