This is likely true.
The RoC should not have done them this favor of automatic enrollment. Those TC's who were running (Levent and Birinci) did not recognize this and started to complain instead of driving a campaign towards those TC's and to push those who did not provide an address to do so, so they are eligible to vote.
This shows you their brains and I am glad that they did so poorly and none of them got a seat. No one living in the occupied areas should be able to vote until after the occupation ends.
Errr ... boys, until 3-4 days ago, people were being told that all they had to do to vote was to turn up with their ID Cards at designated stations, no mention of addresses, no mention of a cross-checking register.
It was only this past Weds or Thursday that a list of eligible voters was publicised, there was no time for anyone to act to get their names added to the register by providing an address.
That Register should have been published months ago.
Don't agree with this, in any case out of the 57k eligible voters how many actually voted??? Never mind the couple of hundred that were turned away. Come on FFS, if they were serious about voting they would have taken the necessary measures, this is just more Turkish BS excuses so that the likes of VP can spout that we cannot live together. Even if the reported figure of 10K had no address listed, how many of the remainder voted? So you can see it sis just a smoke screen, a prelude to more complaining by the parasites from the occupied areas. They should not even have been given this opportunity, what utter stupidity on our part to allow our invader enemy vote in legal democratic elections when they, all the while support the occupation regime.
We should STOP NOW, these favours/benefits to these Ungrateful Parasites (not my words but those of the Turkish PM Erdogan). Seems he described them to a 'T'.
