When to expect results

Here's what you need to know about what will happen in the next few hours after polls closed:

  • The counting process began as soon as polls closed

  • It will likely take less time to count votes than the first round, which included ballots for parliament candidates

  • There are no exit polls in Turkey - don't expect one

  • Results will start to trickle in from the early evening onwards

  • A broadcast ban on results is expected to be lifted around 6:30 pm local time (15:30 GMT)

  • By midnight, we should have a clear idea who will be Turkey's president for the next five years
