During the meeting, the council concluded the objections filed by 7 political parties for a total of 22 electoral districts, including 1 province and 21 districts, and announced the decisions reached.

Accordingly, the AK Party's requests were rejected: the cancellation of the mayoral election and a rerun in the Senirkent district of Isparta; the cancellation of the provincial general assembly election and a rerun in the Refahiye district of Erzincan; a recount of votes in the Manyas and İvrindi districts of Balıkesir; and the cancellation of the certificate of election (mazbata) for the Kayapınar district of Diyarbakır and the awarding of the certificate to the runner-up in the elections.

Furthermore, the extraordinary objections filed by the AK Party for the Kadışehri district of Yozgat and the Emet district of Kütahya were also rejected by the council.

The CHP's requests for a recount of votes in the Ayrancı district of Karaman and the cancellation of the mayoral election in the Besni district of Adıyaman were rejected.
