Patrick Kingsley, *The New York Times*, 18 Apr 2017

Noting irregularities, opposition party seeks recount. The pro-Kurdish party noted that as many as 3M votes lacked an official stamp and should be invalidated. Teams of European observers also had complaints. Unlevel playing field with Erdogan's "state of emergency". Opposition party people arrested. "No" campaigners physically intimidated, rallies limited. That seems to be a recipe for a "fair" election rather than a "good" one or an
"excellent" one -- if you subscribe to the other meaning of "fair".
