ANKARA (Reuters) – Turkey’s main opposition party determined there were irregularities at 2,269 ballot boxes for the presidential election and at 4,825 boxes for the parliamentary election that took place Sunday, a party official said on Wednesday.
Muharrem Erkek, a Republican People’s Party (CHP) deputy chairman, told reporters the irregularities at each ballot box ranges from a single wrong vote to hundreds of votes.
“We are following every single vote, even if it does not change the overall results,” he said in Ankara. There were a total of 201,807 ballot boxes set up for the election, domestically and abroad, Erkek said.
