STORY: However, opposition party officials said the objections are unlikely to change the result of the presidential vote, set to take place on May 28 between Erdogan and challenger Kemal Kilicdaroglu.

He said the CHP had formally objected to 2,269 nationwide ballot boxes for the presidential election and 4,825 for the parliamentary vote that also took place on Sunday, although they represent a small fraction of the total number.
