Election Results and Appeals After the counting was completed and the preliminary results announced, many appeals were made by political parties and independent candidates to provincial and district election boards. Since the SBE has not disclosed any information on the appeals, the appeals were evaluated based on media coverage. According to the information we could access, a total of 35 appeals were made in 25 provinces against the election results. Considering that many appeals made to the election boards has not been reflected in the media, it is estimated that the number of formal appeals is much higher. 28 of the appeals decided by the Provincial Election Boards were brought to the SBE. The SBE accepted two appeals and rejected all the others. The HDP applied to the SBE on November 15th for the cancellation of the elections throughout the country on grounds that the election process was not free and fair. The SBE rejected the application by its Decision dated 17/11/2015 on 2015/2392. The HDP brought the case to the Constitutional Court.
