Polls are open in Turkey’s presidential runoff between Erdogan and Kilicdaroglu.

Here is what you need to know:

• Polls will close by 5pm local time
• A broadcast ban likely to be lifted around 6:30pm
• Anadolu and Anka will cover the results
• The count won’t be long
• Erdogan is leading with a big margin in multiple polls but it might all depend on who goes to the polling stations. Whoever mobilises their supporters and ferry them to vote will have a distinct advantage

Kilicdaroglu run a campaign based on fear but also trying to woo GenZ and nationalist voters

2- Erdogan on the other hand ran a less polarising campaign compared to the first round.

He even embraced pro-Kurdish HDP voters today, telling them to vote for himself

3- Both Kilicdaroglu and Erdogan tried to capture surplus nationalist voters by establishing alliances with ultranationalist

Third placed candidate Ogan backed Erdogan, and he has been called as sellout since then

There are a lot of disinformation about the Turkey elections vote count. Let me explain, bear with me

1- Votes are counted in individual polling stations and each party get the results and submit them to their own database

2- Then the bags full of ballots carried to districts
3- District election boards collect bags and the records, merge them and send them to provincial election boards

4- Provincial boards enter the data to the official system as the final vote, the change from the first point to last point is generally minimal
5- That’s why opposition leaning Anka news agency is able to publish data for the 97.8 percent of the ballot boxes, because the information is directly coming from the polling stations, the first stage where the parties collect their initial results.
