Voters will cast their votes in 5 steps in the Presidential Election to be held today. Voters will vote where they voted in the May 14 elections and at the ballot box. Voting hours will be applied as 08.00-17.00 throughout the country. If there are voters waiting at the ballot box to cast their votes even though the voting deadline has come, the chairman of the ballot box committee will allow them to cast their votes in turn after counting the voters and getting their IDs. Voters arriving after 17:00 will not be able to vote.
CITIZENS MUST SHOW IDENTITY CERTIFICATE
Voters going to the polls will present their identity card bearing the Republic of Turkey ID number, one of the official documents with pictures that “reveal their identity without hesitation” to the president and will tell the voter's serial number.
Voters who do not submit one of these documents will not be able to vote.
THE CABIN WILL NOT BE ACCESSED WITH A MOBILE PHONE
It will be forbidden to enter the voting place with video recorders or communication devices such as mobile phones, cameras or film cameras. Such devices will have to be left to the ballot box committee to be returned after the voting process is over.
NO MARKING OTHER THAN THE SEAL WILL BE PLACED ON THE VOTING BALL
Voters will vote by pressing the seal of "PREFERENCE" or "YES" without overflowing the section reserved for the presidential candidate they prefer on the ballot.
In order for the vote to be considered valid, no sign or mark should be placed anywhere on the ballot paper except for the "PREFERENCE" or "YES" seal. Nothing except the ballot paper will be put in the envelope.
Voters who think they voted wrong and want a new ballot will not be given a new ballot. Voters will be given a ballot with the pictures and names of the presidential candidates Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu.
After the choice is made, the compass will be put in the envelope and put in the ballot box. After the voter puts the envelope in the ballot box, he/she will sign against the place where his/her name is on the ballot voters list.
DUTIES OF THE BALLOT BOX COMMITTEE
On the other hand, on the morning of the election, the ballot box committee, consisting of the chairman of the ballot box committee, civil servants and the representatives of the 5 political parties that received the most votes in the last election, will meet at the polling place at 07:00. The ballot box committee will first read the oath and the ballot box will be sealed by the president.
Then, the voting envelopes will be counted, the packages containing the ballot papers will be opened, and the backs of the envelopes and ballot papers will be sealed. Preparations will be completed at 07.00-08.00, the voting process will start at 08:00 and will last until 17:00. If there are people waiting in line as of 17.00, these people will be counted by the chairman of the ballot box committee and they will be able to vote.
The ballot box committee officer will find the name of the voter on the ballot box voters list by taking the identity of the voter, and after performing the checks, he will give the Presidential Election combined ballot paper, envelope and seal and ask him to vote in the cabin.
The chairman of the ballot box committee will warn the voters not to put any other material in the envelope, not to put a sign on the ballots and the envelope, so that the vote will not be considered invalid, and will state that a second ballot will not be given.
