Those accompanying disabled voters when casting votes At 252 ballot boxes, it was observed that ballot box committee members entered the polling booth together with disabled voters. It is unlawful for ballot box committee members to enter the booth with voters and it is also unlawful for the same person to assist more than one voter. Some testimonies; “At the Mersin Abdullah Günaydın Primary School, the ballot box committee chairperson is not allowing disabled persons to cast their vote with the people accompanying them. At ballot boxes No. 1001 and 1232, the ballot box committee chairperson is entering the polling booths. A blind voter was prevented from entering the booth with a person of their own choice; he could only cast his vote with the intervention of the chairperson.” Voters Discriminated Against When Casting Their Vote The fact that polling stations are not accessible by the disabled and elderly voters, and the situation created by the election materials not being prepared in a manner suitable for non-Turkish speakers amounts to discrimination. At 375 ballot boxes where observations were made, discrimination was witnessed against disabled voters and non-Turkish speakers. In addition discrimination based on gender identity (1), ethnicity (1) and age was also observed. 21
