The Şenyaşar family cast their votes at Fethi Şimşek Girls' Anatolian High School in Pirsûs (Suruç).

Ferit Şenyaşar, who is also a candidate for the Green Left Party in Urfa, said after voting: “We have fulfilled our duty for justice and a democratic future. No office or position is more important than human life. Our hope is to get through this election without incident and bring about change.”

On 14 June 2018, the bodyguards and relatives of AKP Urfa MP Ibrahim Halil Yıldız attacked the Şenyaşar family's shop in Suruç during the election campaign.

In the attack, brothers Celal, Adil, Mehmet, Fadıl and Ferit Şenyaşar were injured. Relatives and supporters of AKP MP Yıldız badly injured Celal and Adil Şenyaşar, and their father Hacı Esvet Şenyaşar, when he went to the hospital to visit their sons. He was brutally murdered, being lynched in front of his wife Emine Şenyaşar.

Emine Şenyaşar and her son Ferit (who was also injured in the attack), have been holding a Justice Vigil in front of the Courthouse of Urfa since 9 March 2021, demanding those responsible to be brought to account.
