Highest level of observers in Turkey's election history

This election has seen the highest levels of observers in Turkey's election history. Several grassroots and civil society organisations mobilised after the inconsistencies seen during the local elections in March 2014.

Energy Minister Yıidiz Taner has made assurances saying that all election points will be monitored and live broadcast for election security.

Turkey's electoral system allows for a great deal of transparency *if* monitors show up and do their job. A lot of effort now. 1/3

Many election volunteers (mobilized post-Gezi) told me that in earlier elections, they found opposition parties did little monitoring. 2/3
