Voting rate in Britain reaches 50 percent

Voting in Britain ended after 9 days and 50 percent of those having the right to vote went to the polls.

Voting in Britain for the elections in Turkey and Northern Kurdistan started on 28 April. Polls were set up in the cities of London, Manchester, Leicester and Edinburgh. Voting ended on Sunday.

The British Electoral Coordination, made up by hundreds of volunteers and a large number of organizations organized around the Green Left Party, welcomed the voting rate. In the 2018 elections, the rate was 48 percent. In Britain, where the number of registered voters is 127,281, some 64,45 people cast their ballots.

These elections, in which an average of 50 percent of the total registered voters cast their votes, also represent a new level and record for Britain.
