The Turkish people are voting in the presidential election
The people of Turkey are voting in the country's most important presidential election, which will determine whether President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will continue in power after 20 years of leading the country.
There were reports of turnout at the polling stations even before voting began.
A university in Istanbul said that the Turks are hungry for democracy in this election.
There are about 64 million voters in the country.
Rising prices are among the factors that have dampened the campaign.
The main opponent of President Erdogan, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, has promised to reduce the power that Mr. Erdogan has created for himself in the country, after surviving a failed coup attempt in 2016.
In a video that you shared, Mr. Erdogan was seen stressing the election laws when he was delivering a speech to a gathering of worshipers on Saturday evening.
In order to win the election, a candidate must get more than 50 percent of the votes cast, or there will be a second round in the next two weeks.
