Turkey : Opposition senses before the local elections fraud

The house in the Habazoglu street number 34 in the northeast Anatolia, Artvin is a pile of debris. The plaster of the walls, the Windows are broken or ripped out, in the rooms of debris. Anil Öztürk of the opposition party, the CHP has come to a uncover fraud, in his opinion, a clear choice:

Although the house is uninhabitable, here are 35 voters for the local elections in March, reported, says Öztürk in a Video he posted on Facebook – 35 out of several Thousand voters who exist, apparently, only on paper. Opponents of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, fear that the elections, large-scale manipulations.

press speaks of "Phantom voters"

New cases of "Phantom voters", as they are called in the press, the Opposition, almost every day. One of them is the alleged first voter Ayse Ekici in the Central Anatolian Kayseri – she was born according to the records, the election authority prior to 165 years in the Ottoman Empire. Overall, his party was found 6400 registered voters aged between 100 and 165 years, said CHP Vice President Onursal Adigüzel.

In Cankiri to the North-East of Ankara, the number of voters has since the parliamentary and presidential election half a year ago mysteriously almost doubled. In Istanbul, the Opposition found out that 43 of the "Phantom voters" are reported as residents of a site.

In the Southeast Turkish Sirnak is a single apartment, allegedly large enough for 713 voters. Livestock stables, burned-out homes and football stadiums are listed as the addresses of registered voters. Overall, the electoral authorities to go to appeals in over one hundred thousand entries in the voters lists.

Also in Istanbul, it could be just for the ACP

The Opposition sees a clear pattern behind the suspicious Voter registrations: Erdogan's AKP wool against unpleasant Surprises in the municipal election on October 31. March secure. According to surveys, the victory of the habitual government party, must expect in the capital, Ankara, with a defeat. Also in Istanbul, it could be just for the ACP.

in the case of a referendum two years ago, the electoral authority said on the day of the election, surprisingly, that the ballot paper without official verification of the election commissions to be valid. The AKP narrowly won. After the local elections of 2014 for the nightly counting of the votes in Parts of Ankara, inexplicably, the power went out, the government stated that a cat got into a transformer house and a short circuit triggered. The AKP was able to defend their rule in the capital at the time, with only one percentage point lead.

weakness of the Turkish reporting system

Erdogan's party rejects then, as now, the allegation of deception. The Opposition is looking only for an excuse for another defeat at the ballot box. In fact, could hide behind many of the complaints about "Phantom voters" in the end, only the weaknesses of the Turkish reporting system. Because the ACP is concerned: Erdogan recently said that his party miss several hundred thousand members, whose names were not found in the Voters ' registers of their places of residence. Probably they had moved without giving the party notice.
