Does a single vote really matter in any election? It does if you’re in the town of Tahir in the eastern province of Ağrı’s Eleşkirt district, where one vote is enough to win given that there is only one candidate, incumbent Cemal Seferoğulları.

Seferoğulları, a candidate for the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), is set to begin his third term after March 30 after he cast his vote – presumably for himself – at the local Türk Telekom School.

Seferoğulları said snow had started in the town early on the morning of March 30 and that he had ordered teams to clean the roads to help local vote.
