Question:Following the close of the voting, where are the votes first sorted and counted?

Comments: The ballot boxes are opened before all attendants at the voting place and the total number of envelopes removed from the box is counted and recorded. The vote counting is firstly performed by the ballox box committee. Each county board of elections shall combine the results of the ballot boxes and record the number of votes received by the political parties and independent candidates. Each provincial board of elections shall then combine the results from the counties as recorded by county boards of elections. Upon drawing up the votes counting combination report, the provincial boards of elections send the results by cable to the Supreme Board of Elections, informing it also by phone and radio. The Supreme Board of Elections sums up all the valid votes all over Turkey and calculates the percentage of the valid votes for each political party in the total number of valid votes, and notifies those parties that have surpassed the barrier.
