On the occasion of the election, the general problems of country fell out of the agenda for a while.There’s nothing wrong with that. But now the hat is fell, the bald is seen, the choice is left behind. Then, it is the work of the Supreme Board of Elections that the winners of the final results will be announced. Apparently, there will be intense objections to the election results.
 
Because there are various complaints and the number of votes canceled being high is the top of that. Cancellation of a vote may be caused by wrong mistakes in the use of votes or pressing the seal on wrong place. The province, the district and the Supreme Election Board are in the charge of reviewing and deciding all this. In this respect, it is natural to make objections. Of course, if there are incorrectly canceled votes, they must be corrected. Because the objections is made/ will be make, it is meanless to discuss these results much. Because the objections in the appeal petitions are expressed and the election boards are the ones to look them and do what’s necessary, then I think it is necessary to avoid streching the environment. Already during the election campaign, the environment has been taut. After that, to get rid of this tension, it is necessary to tend to the problems of country.
 
At this point, I would like to draw more attention to one issue. It is claimed that there are mistakes in writings and the entering datas. Especially the ruling wing is expressing this objection. Particularly, in the electoral districts where there are winners and losers with the few vote rates, such objections become intensely. However, the representatives of the People's and Nation alliances were standing over the ballot boxes especially. It is already not possible to make many voices for the non-representative parties. If the representatives of the parties in the ballot box have performed their duties, the mistakes can be revealed easily. If they didn’t, the CHP and AKP executives priorily should urge upon this dimension of the occasion. Also, it should not be a problem if the officials in the ballot box committees have carefully followed the counts followed by the party representatives, as well as the custody of officials. 
 
If this fact is not taken into account, the efforts of the loser to lose responsibility for the loss of the candidate will only contribute to strecth the environment. This success of the winner has been attempted to be overshadowed by the fact that it will lead to false convictions about the president who will lead the municipality for 5 years. 
 
It is necessary to leave all after these to the executives of parties who are in charge of the elections and to the election boards. If it is not done like this and the election discussions are kept to continue, inevitably the election boards are left under suspicion. In particular, by looking at the multiplicity of the cancellation of the votes of the election results to justify their objections will make it inextricable. In this respect, it is necessary to focus on why so many cancellation have been raised and what can be done to reduce the number of invalid votes in the next elections. Because every election, the cancellation of the votes is in question. Some of these cancellations result from the approaches of the voters. Some voters even make a mistake by knowing that their votes will be canceled. The number of them is not much. Beyond that, the stamping of the printed seal out of the round usually leads to hesitations during counting. In this respect, it is necessary to clarify that the seal protrudes out of the round. Because it is not possible for every voter to print the seal without ever going out of the round. In this way, instead of saying that the protruding of the seal is a reason for cancellation, it should be the measure whether the stamp printed in both parties is hit. 
 
As a result, it will be right to focus on the problems of the country which is waiting for an urgent solutions especially in the economy to think about the measures to minimize the cancellation of votes in the following elections.
