The voting for Turkey's June 7 general elections has ended in 54 countries with more than 1 million people voting abroad, mainly in European countries. 

Energy Minister Taner Y?ld?z has reiterated his comments about taking the necessary precautions to avoid any power outages during voting for the June 7 general elections, a concern expressed by opposition parties after a major power outage left the country without power for eight hours during the local elections of March 31, 2014.

A voter who photographed his own marked ballot inside the voting cubicle has been detained in Darıca in the northwestern province of Kocaeli.

Ballot box officials in Darıca informed police after they realized that a voter had taken a photo inside the box.       

Turkey’s top election body has ruled that Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan does not need to leave his current post as he campaigns to be the country’s first-ever president elected by popular vote.
