With all the political parties having announced their deputy candidate lists to the public on Tuesday, after submitting the final list to Turkey's Supreme Election Board (YSK), the top election body has enhanced its precautionary measures in the energy sector for the safety of the election, YSK President Sadi Güven confirmed on Wednesday. In an effort to prevent any power cuts during the upcoming June general elections, Güven said that power generators will be placed in locations where electricity has not been established yet. During the local elections on March 30, there were cuts to power in many Turkish cities, which led to questions regarding the validity of the elections results announced by the YSK.

Commenting on the precautionary measures that the board is taking, Güven said during a press conference on Wednesday that the power outages have significantly decreased compared to previous years. However, Güven added that the YSK is devoting all its efforts to establishing power generators before the June general elections. "We have identified the courthouses in which to place power generators, to be used as a working station by the identified district's election board," added YSK's president. During his statements, Güven assured the public that the YSK has taken all the necessary measures for the upcoming elections.

Güven further continued his statements during the press conference by adding that 181 individuals are running as independent deputy candidates, and 16 of those are female deputy candidates. He has also stated that the June general elections will be held in 54 countries, and from May 8 to May 31, voting will begin at customs gates and agencies electorates living abroad. On May 23, YSK will draw to determine the order of the electioneering speeches made by applicant political parties on TV and radio, and for how long they will speak. Electioneering freedom and some election bans will commence on May 28. Two days after that, the electioneering speeches will start and voting abroad will end. Campaigns will end the day before voting in Turkey on June 6.
