The most polling stations have opened in Turkey – 168, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland – 112, Germany – 66, Spain – 64, USA – 53, Italy – 27, Netherlands – 25, Greece – 23, France – 17, Austria and Belgium each 16, Canada – 15 polling stations.

Machine voting is provided in 157 polling stations - 79 devices have been delivered to Turkey, 21 to Germany, 14 to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, 6 each to Spain and the USA, 5 each to Austria and Greece, 4 to the Netherlands, 3 each in France and Belgium, 2 each in Canada, Cyprus, the Czech Republic and Switzerland, 1 each in Luxembourg, Norway and Serbia.
