The village headman, Mehmet Atmaca, expressed his good wishes for the country and nation at the start of the elections.
Atmaca also stated that most of the citizens in the village cast their votes, with 17 people voting together with friends at the polling station. Although the number of voters has decreased in recent years, Atmaca mentioned that the voting process was quiet in the village.
On the other hand, in Gazipınar Village located in Tokat’s Artova district, citizens voted in the second round of the Presidential Election. The village has only six households and 19 voters. The village headman, Zafer Atak, expressed his good wishes for the election to be beneficial.
