20,000 Turkish citizens cast their votes at Istanbul Airport
Turkish Citizens Abroad Can Cast Their Votes at Istanbul Airport
Turkish citizens living abroad can now cast their votes at the Istanbul Airport, which has set up 12 ballot boxes on the departure and arrival floor. The voting process commenced on April 27 and has seen participation from 20 thousand voters, including foreign nationals who have been granted Turkish citizenship.
The airport authorities have made special arrangements for Turkish citizens living abroad, who have been registered in the foreign electoral register, to cast their votes. The voting will end today at 17:00.
The move has been welcomed by Turkish citizens living abroad, who now have the opportunity to exercise their franchise and have their voices heard in the Turkish elections.
The government’s initiative has been appreciated by many Turkish citizens living abroad who are often deprived of their voting rights. It is hoped that this step will encourage other countries to follow Turkey’s lead and provide their citizens the opportunity to vote in national elections, regardless of their location.
The polling booths set up at Istanbul Airport have made it convenient for Turkish citizens who are traveling to vote without any hassle. It is indeed a great way to strengthen democracy and make the Turkish elections more inclusive and accessible to all Turkish citizens, regardless of their location.
Overall, the move to set up polling booths at Istanbul Airport is a positive step towards encouraging more participation from Turkish citizens living abroad in the electoral process and strengthening democracy in Turkey.
