Our compatriots in Turkiye will mainly vote for MPs

The interest of our compatriots in Turkiye with voting rights is focused on the elections for MPs. This is so, because most voters there do not meet the residency requirement and will not be able to vote for MEPs. Emigrant organizations report voter fatigue, because this is the sixth parliamentary election in three years, and the main issue today is related to voter turnout. There are 166 polling stations in Turkiye. Voters in that country hope that the elections will lead to a stable government.

Of all the polling stations opened abroad, those in Turkiye are the most numerous. The largest number of applications for voting abroad have also been submitted in Turkiye - 23 537. Voters with confirmed applications are included in the local electoral rolls. Those who were not included in the electoral rolls will be able to vote by filling in a declaration that they have not voted and will not go to the polls elsewhere. There will be machine voting in 109 polling stations. Voting for MPs and MEPs will take place in four polling stations. One of them was opened at the Consulate General of the Republic of Bulgaria in Istanbul.
