Voting has been ongoing since April 27 at customs gates and foreign representative offices, with over 1.13 million voters having already cast their ballots as of Thursday.

Voting will continue until May 9 at overseas representations and until May 14 at customs until 5:00 p.m. local time.

The YSK has decided to increase the number of ballot boxes at 19 locations in Europe to accommodate high turnout, while also cancelling plans for ballot boxes in nine locations in Germany.

The presidential ballot will feature four candidates, including President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, while 24 political parties and 151 independent candidates will compete for seats in the 600-member Turkish parliament.

About 3.41 million Turkish citizens are eligible to vote abroad, with voting already underway in some countries. (ILKHA)
