Both camps urge voters in final push

Both sides of the presidential election are urging their supporters to go out and vote, in a final push before polls close. 

Kilicdaroglu tweeted to those who hadn't voted to "go to the ballot box" and not be "lazy". He described the country's future as being "as close as walking distance". 

Meanwhile, Erdogan's ruling AK party has sent multiple text messages calling on its supporters to vote as soon as possible.

The messages allude to turnout potentially being low, something neither camp wants. 

Polls are set to close in just over an hour, at 5pm local time.
