Turkey’s main opposition party CHP and scores of citizens have appealed to the election watchdog for the annulment of a critical referendum, arguing that unsealed ballot papers and envelopes were counted in open violation of the law, Hurriyet reports.
"This referendum will be recalled as the 'unsealed election.' The only thing that needs to be done with regard to this referendum, which has lost its legitimacy, is its annulment," Bülent Tezcan, the deputy leader of the Republican People’s Party (CHP), told reporters after he officially submitted a petition for the annulment to the Supreme Election Board (YSK) on April 18.
