The President urged them to begin preparations for the early parliamentary elections which will take place on 11 July. “I will issue a decree within the deadline set with one specific feature – it has to happen parallel with the announcement of the caretaker government,” he added.

Even though she said she was a supporter of machine voting she conceded the possibility of voting using paper ballots wherever unforeseen circumstances may occur.
