Voters head back to polls for unprecedented second round that could see Erdoğan’s two decades in power extended or ended
Reuters has this report from Ankara, as voting continues:
Voting started at 8am (5am GMT) and will finish at 5pm (2pm GMT). The outcome is expected to start becoming clear by early evening local time. Polling stations were reportedly quieter in many places than two weeks ago, when turnout was 89%.
The election will decide not only who leads Turkey, a Nato-member country of 85 million, but also how it is governed, where its economy is headed after its currency plunged to one-tenth of its value against the dollar in a decade, and the shape of its foreign policy, which has seen Turkey anger the West by cultivating ties with Russia and Gulf states.
