191,884 ballot boxes were set up in 973 districts and 1094 district election boards across Turkey for the election, in which the president who will serve for 5 years and the new members of parliament will be determined.<\/p>\n
Voting procedures for the election, in which 60 million 697 thousand 843 voters will cast their votes, ended at 17.00 across Turkey.<\/p>\n
However, even though it is 17.00, the voters waiting to cast their votes at the ballot box will cast their votes in turn after being counted by the president.<\/p>\n
The election bans will end at 21:00, according to the decision of the Supreme Election Board.<\/p>\n
It was observed that the turnout rate was much higher than in the previous elections. There were long waits at schools where votes were cast in almost every region of Turkey.<\/p>\n
The turnout rate, which was 86% in the 2018 elections, is expected to exceed 90%.<\/p>\n
Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan, Kemal K\u0131l\u0131\u00e7daro\u011flu and Sinan Ogan are competing in the presidential election. Muharrem \u0130nce, whose name is on the ballot, announced that he withdrew from the election 3 days ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
