"God willing, the result will be auspicious and we will all have the chance to determine Turkey's fundamental problems," he added.

The CHP is Turkey's main opposition party and opposes Erdogan's proposed changes to the constitution.

Kilicdaroglu spoke against what he deemed unfair practices by the government during the campaigns leading up to the vote.

"This is definitely not going to be a fair referendum. We know that the pro-Erdogan media will have a broadcasting policy that completes ignores the opposition," Kilicdaroglu said in February.

"It will be presented as if we are running against the state."
