Based on the information spread in the media outlets, the State Inspector's Service started inspecting the lawfulness of voter identification and photo-taking using a special application for the 2020 parliamentary elections.

The application, which has been actively used in various polling stations since morning, enables the processing of personal data of voters. The State Inspector’s Service reviewed the privacy policy document of the application, which does not contain detailed information on specific data protection measures. The State Inspector's Service will evaluate the lawfulness of the processing of personal data through the application and the measures taken to protect personal data of citizens.

We call on all the persons and institutions involved in the electoral process to take all necessary measures for protection and security of personal data of voters, as protection of their rights is a necessary condition for democratic elections.
