The head of Turkey’s election authority on Friday said a recent massive online leak of personal data did not come from its system.

“The information we obtained at the end of research we did at websites [with the leaked data] is compatible with databases we have given to political parties,” Supreme Board of Elections (YSK) Chairman Sadi Guven Guven told Anadolu Agency in Ankara, as data on voters are shared with political parties before elections.
