There are reports that several flights leaving airports in Istanbul departed early by 20-45 minutes each. Hundreds of voters who were boarding the flights to vote in the provinces where they are registered are now unlikely to be able to vote. All of the flights that left early were headed to provinces in Kurdistan. There is tension between travelers and police ongoing at the airport.

Also in Istanbul, ballots in several regions of the province have been reported as being extremely confusing and have led to a large number of invalidated votes in Istanbul.
