Contrary to what foreign media is saying, Türkiye’s May 14 election is being held in a transparent and fair manner
Türkiye’s Supreme Election Council has put in place a system which ensures the integrity of the vote starting from the polling booths.
Political parties including the AK Party and the opposition CHP, which is part of the six-party Nation Alliance, will send out tens of thousands of observers to polling stations.YSK has also made special arrangements to facilitate voters in the 11 provinces hit by the deadly February 6th earthquakes.
As the counting starts, volunteers of the political parties are present at the polling stations to oversee it. They can tally the votes, take pictures and pass on the information to party higher-ups. The independence of the Supreme Election Board became obvious early this month when it refused the government's request for ballot box location data ahead of the elections. The opposition was not in favour of YSK sharing the location of the booths with the interior ministry at such a crucial juncture.
