Memorandum on the OSCE PA Observation of the
Early Parliamentary and Presidential Election in Turkey, 24 June 2018
Delegation
Early Parliamentary and Presidential elections will be held in Turkey on 24 June 2018, and following an
invitation, the OSCE PA will deploy an election observation mission to these important elections.
To ensure geographical balance within the Assembly mission, each national delegation may nominate up to
10% of the entire expected participation. We therefore invite each national delegation to nominate up to
6 (six)
participants.
Members wishing to participate in this mission are kindly asked to return a completed registration form, as
well as accreditation forms with a copy of the photograph page from Members’ passports, a digital photo, and
the completed Code of Conduct for OSCE PA Election Observers to the International Secretariat at
([email protected]) by
25 May 2018.
Accommodation
Parliamentary briefings will be held in Ankara on 22-23 June 2018. The Temporary OSCE PA Headquarters
will be located in Ankara as well. The International Secretariat of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly will
distribute the details on the recommended hotel for accommodation in Ankara as soon as possible.

 OSCE, Alm.del - 2017-18 - Bilag 22: Invitation til valgobservationsmission i Tyrkiet den 24. juni 2018

Election Day and Deployment
On Election Day, Members will generally work in teams of two. You will find a list of the locations where we
anticipate sending observers, as well as relevant accommodation and travel suggestions. Please note that
additional locations may be suggested depending upon developments in coming weeks.
Therefore, we
ask
observers NOT to make specific travel arrangements (transportation/hotels) within Turkey without first
consulting with the International Secretariat.
This will help to ensure balanced deployment coverage for
the observation mission.
Interpreter / Driver on Election Day
Further information on arrangements for cars/drivers and interpreters for our teams for Election Day will be
communicated in due time. Please let the Secretariat know if your Embassy in Turkey will provide Members
with a car or/and an interpreter during the Election Day.
Visa Information
We strongly advise observers to apply and obtain a visa well in advance of departing for Turkey by contacting
the relevant consulate. Attached is the invitation to the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, welcoming an
observation mission.
We would like to remind you that national parliaments are responsible for their own Member’s expenses,
including any hotel cancellations.
We also urge Members to have health and travel insurance that is valid
in Turkey.
