Tensions rose during the count of overseas votes and observers report that several votes have been trashed.

Officials, party representatives and observers began to count overseas votes in ATO Congresium but tensions rose when observers reported that several votes were trashed.

Fights broke out and riot police entered ATO Congresium for intervention.

HDP Ankara parliamentarian candidate Orhan Çelebi stated that there was a mismatch between the numbers of recorded and existing votes. Çelebi said that the ballot box commission decided to burn the extra votes but party representatives objected and stopped the count.
