Finance Minister Mehmet Şimşek said that in accordance with the law, no party will receive extra payments for early elections held this year. Şimşek said that the payments were made to the eligible political parties in January and February, ruling out additional payments in the case of snap elections. Therefore, possible early elections will not create extra expenses for the national budget, Şimşek assured in response to debates on this matter, saying that payments to political parties that qualify to receive the grants from the Treasury could only be made in January 2016. He said that the Justice and Development Party ( AK Party), Republican People's Party (CHP) and Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) received a total of TL 531.1 million ($187.5 million) in January 2015 for the June 7 elections.

Şimşek stressed that the law regarding political parties does not have a regulation about granting Treasury payments to eligible political parties in case of more than one general elections a year. Şimşek then underlined that no party could possibly receive a payment from the Treasury for a second general election in 2015, meaning that the possible early elections in November or any other date in 2015 will not cost Turkey's budget additionally in term of grants. He said that the installment payments regarding the general elections are made according to January payments taken as a base and that the payments to the political parties have already reached the cap for 2015, which means that they will receive no more this year.
