Formal of Objection:

(Change: 17/5/1979 - 2234/1 art.)

Objections can be made in verbal and written forms. Verbal objections are written in minute books along with their reasons. The name, surname and resident address of the complainant are written and his signature is taken. For those who are unable to sign, their fingerprints are taken. 

Complaints who are unable to prove their identity and who are not able to explain the reasons are not evaluated and it is written in the minute book that complaints are not examined for this reason. 

In the written complaints, above mentioned contidions are searched for and they are added to complaint petition. Written complaints without evidences and reasons are also not examined. In both cases, complainant is given letter of receipt including the information of date and the complaint has been taken. Objections are made to president of the election board. In case the president of the election board is not present, written objection is made to competent prosecutor in return of letter of receipt. Prosecutor issues immediately the record of complaint and sends to president of the election board. 

At the beginning of electoral process, political parties inform election boards the names of the authorized people to make objections. Certificate of signatures are approved by the leaders of political party and announced. For those who are authorized to make complaints in name of political parties, identification is not necessary.

In objections, notifying which authorities have the necessary evidences is considered as evidence and election board is obliged to obtain such evidence.

Objections to Supreme Election Council should be in written form.
