Article 7 of Law No. 7393 amends Article 23 of Law No. 298, dealing with membership of ballot box committees. The amendments add a paragraph stipulating that “a party entitled to nominate members to the ballot box committee cannot nominate a member of another party as a ballot box committee member without his/her consent” (Article 7 of Law No. 7393). During the visit to Ankara, the Venice Commission and ODIHR were informed about cases in which members of a certain party had been nominated to a ballot box committee in a different locality by a different political party without their consent and even without their knowledge, which had prevented them from exercising their right to vote in their home locality.
