The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has immediately notified all diplomatic and consular representations asking them to disseminate the information to the sectional election commissions obroad.

The decision of the Central Election Commission came after a conflict in a polling station located in Avcilar residential district in Istanbul, where polling agents wanted to suspend voting, because some voting applications were filled in outside the polling station.
