Turkish general election, June 7th 2015

In the meantime,  http://www.ysk.gov.tr/ is still down for me.  Most likely there is so many hits that it went down due to capacity issues.

There is a story about HDP supporter stuffing ballot boxes

I always wonder how this is possible (not just in Turkey) ...

Do these precincts not have election commission members present from all the other parties who can call the police if they see it ?

Edited page for English results not Turkish

The HDP party needs 4.5 million votes to cross the 10% threshold.

It's pretty obvious that there was/is massive vote-rigging and intimidation going on, based on various reports. The police and military even seem to co-operate with the AKP in throwing international election observers and Kurd-Party observers out of voting places and intimidate them:

Looks like Erdogan is pulling all strings to save his sinking ship ...

TURKEY'S CIHAN NEWS AGENCY REPORTS HEAVY CYBER ATTACK: DIKEN

Perhaps this explains why  http://www.ysk.gov.tr/ is down ?

[Tender Branson]

Sry, but I have to classify this "election" as an "electoral type-event", based on all the reports.

Breaking: CNN Türk reports a huge argument broken out at the Ankara centre where overseas votes are being counted.

[jaichind]

OK, sooo when are we going to see some prelim or partial results ?

Whenever the Erdogan-enablers have manipulated the AKP up from 35-40% to ~49/50% ...

Probably not until noon EST here

The reporter - who was calling in to CNN Türk by telephone - sounded extremely frantic. She said there was a disagreement over how the ballots were disposed of, but was drowned out by shouting bystanders.

She reported votes were still being counted at other tables in the room unconnected to the squabble and that the situation calmed down as police intervened.

Reporting restrictions still in place one hour after polls closed across Turkey. No indication yet on when they might be lifted.

Turnout is reported to be high and above 80%

I'm worried that the power-hungry Islamo-fascist pseudo-dictator Erdogan is going to manipulate the results, so that his AKP remains in charge ...

Please keep the excessive hyperbole under control. This board isn't for this kind of nonsense.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

With the reporting restrictions still in place, no one knows WHO is getting these votes

[Donnie]

11% counted according to TRT and "no surprise", but no results!

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

At this point I think they're going to count all the votes and then just release them all at once.

But at this rate that will be several hours from now

It was never the case in the past. I hope they start to show the results very soon.

Reporting restrictions still in place 90 minutes after polls closed across Turkey. No indication yet on when they might be lifted.

As much as 20% of ballot boxes open and counted

CNN-TURK reports that 25% of votes counted.

The websites of pro-government newspapers like Sabah and Yeni Şafak have begun to put out what they call results under the titles "Party 1", "Party 2", "Party 3" and "Party 4". Their colours match those used by the four main political parties.

The Yeni Şafak map - which it says relies on AA figures - is a sea of yellow.

[jaichind]

Thanks.  I checked.  Sabah seems to have

Party 1    48.32
Party 2    21.69
Party 3    17.91
Party 4      8.21

Turnout 83.53
