It specifically criticized a decision Sunday by Turkey's electoral board to accept ballots that did not have official stamps, saying that undermined safeguards against fraud. Turkey's electoral board confirmed the "yes" victory in the referendum and said the final results would be declared in 11-12 days. An unprecedented electoral board decision to accept as valid ballots that didn't bear the official stamp has led to outrage. Electoral board head Sadi Guven rejected opposition claims of foul play, saying none of the ballot papers declared valid was "fake" or fraudulently cast. CHP legislator Utku Cakirozer told The Associated Press his party would file official objections Monday to results at local electoral board branches, before taking their case to the Supreme Electoral Board.
