Today, political parties use the social media tools to communicate, organize and mobilize. However, few studies focus on the use of social media by the political parties and these studies analyze the use of social media in election campaigns. Therefore, in the relevant literature, there is a need for empirical studies to analyze the use of social media for political communication by political parties during non election periods. In this context, this study, using a metrics set, aims to analyze the engagement level and engagement type of the political parties with public in Turkey on Facebook as a social media tool in a non-election period. The findings of our analysis show that the engagement level of the political parties with public on Facebook in Turkey is low. Moreover, political parties in Turkey fail to communicate with the public in a bidirectional way on Facebook.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessComputer sciencePublic administrationSocial mediaPolitical partiesPublic engagementFacebookTurkeySocial networksOnlineCampaignsElectionsFrameworkPublic policySocial sciencesSocial networking (online)Proceedings Paper0004272248000182-s2.0-85032816332209216Computer science, information systemsComputer science, interdisciplinary applicationsPublic administrationSocial Media; Election Campaigns; Political Communication
