Story highlights
- Protests held around country for third night in a row
- Turkey’s highest electoral authority denies objections over the way the vote was held
- Lawyer for a political activist says he and others have been detained
A narrow majority of voters in Sunday’s referendum backed the 18-article constitutional reform package, which will transform the country’s parliamentary system into a powerful executive presidency.
The main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP), along with individuals and civil society groups, challenged the result amid concerns over unstamped ballots and called for it to be annulled.
After considering their complaints, the electoral body ruled by 10 to one to deny the objections put forward by the CHP and hundreds of individuals, Anadolu said.

Protesters marched for the third night in a row Wednesday in cities across the country in support of the annulment petition. On the Asian side of Istanbul, men and women of all ages took to the streets after sunset, carrying signs declaring “Hayir,” or “No,” and chanting “We will resist.”
Prominent political activist Abdurrahman Atalay was detained Wednesday along with 16 other people, according to Zeynep Atalay, his cousin and one of his lawyers. No official charge has yet been laid against the activist, his cousin said, but they believe his detention is related to the “no” campaign he was running.
Calls to leave it be
The reform plan, put forward by the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), will give President Recep Tayyip Erdogan sweeping and largely unchecked powers.
Prime Minister Binali Yildirim, speaking on CNN Turk, urged the opposition to drop its challenge.
“Objection to election results should remain there,” he said. “The opposition should not call people to take to the streets and say they do not recognize election results.”
But Bulent Tezcan, deputy chairman of the CHP, told reporters Monday that the party would appeal to the European Court of Human Rights if the electoral body didn’t void Sunday’s referendum result.
“The only decision that will end the legitimacy debate and ease people’s concerns about the judiciary is for the High Election Board to cancel the referendum,” Tezcan said.
Unsealed ballots
Voting was already underway on Sunday when the electoral authority announced it would start accepting unstamped ballots — a decision that the opposition said should invalidate the results.
The stamps were required to avoid “ballot-stuffing” — where extra votes are cast illegally to manipulate results — and unstamped ballots had been dismissed as invalid in earlier votes.

International election monitors also delivered a scathing verdict on the conduct of the referendum. Representatives from a coalition of international bodies said the vote took place on an “unlevel playing field,” with the “yes” campaign dominating media coverage.
Delivering the report, Tana de Zulueta, head of the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights, said the “No” campaign had been restricted and that the electoral authority unfairly changed the rules after polls had opened.
She confirmed that the authority decided to accept ballots without official stamps late in the day, adding that it “significantly changed the ballot validity criteria, undermining an important safeguard and contradicting the law.”
The referendum results cement a yearslong effort by Erdogan — who has served as President since 2014, following nearly a decade as Prime Minister — to consolidate his position.
A failed coup last year allowed him to turn up the heat on opposition voices in the run-up to Sunday’s vote. The “no” campaign said it faced intimidation and threats of violence, while opposition figures and journalists were jailed.
Erdogan: ‘I am a mortal really’
But Turkey’s President has insisted that his plans to assume do not make him a dictator and that the changes were not about empowering him.
