Istanbul, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 21st Jun, 2018 ) :One hundred people listen to presentations crammed into a room in Istanbul, defying the oppressive summer heat and attentively taking notes. Their aim to ensure Sunday's elections in Turkey are not marred by election fraud.
Opposition parties, associations and members of the public have united in an unprecedented way to organise monitoring of the polling stations to check for any irregularities.
With President Recep Tayyip Erdogan seeking a new mandate as well as a majority for his ruling party, the margins could be tight and activists want to ensure there is not the slightest risk of foul play swinging the results.
Turkey generally has an excellent record in recent years on election transparency and producing results that are accepted by all sides.
