Reports of irregularities in the presidential run-off elections continue.

Urfa

AKP supporters attacked CHP MP Ali Şeker after he had noticed that votes were being cast collectively in the village of Karaali in Eyyübiye district and that men wanted to vote for their wives. When Şeker stated that this procedure was illegal, he was attacked by a group of 15 to 20 people. The MP was taken to hospital with a punch injury to his nose. The gendarmerie (military police) removed the attackers from the scene.

In the district of Akçakale, also in Urfa, another assault occurred when an election observer protested against block voting. AKP supporters attacked, insulted and threatened the election observer. Due to concerns for life and limb, the observer had to leave the scene, stating that he would file a complaint.

Mardin

There are also massive irregularities in the province of Mardin. Votes are being cast collectively at some ballot boxes. Already at the beginning of the voting, it was reported that in the districts of Artuklu, Yeşilli, Nusaybin and Kızıltepe, police officers went from polling station to polling station asking if there were AKP election observers. Where there were no AKP observers, the police brought "people from outside" to observe the voting. Meanwhile, armoured vehicles were stationed in the schools.

In Mardin, police were also ordered to remove lawyers from polling stations and schools throughout the province. This open attempt to enable electoral fraud repeatedly led to tensions. In Yeşilli and Nusaybin, lawyers protested against this action and declared that they would not allow this illegal act.

In Sakarya secondary school in Yeşilli district, lawyers were reportedly not allowed to enter the school, while the AKP mayor and AKP district chairman visited the polling stations and threatened election workers.

At Şirinevler Secondary School in Yeşilli district, votes are cast collectively at ballot boxes 1025, 1026 and 1027. When the CHP election observer protested against the irregularity, he was threatened by the head of the polling station.
