BBC: Turkey election: Polls close as Erdogan seeks second term
Polls have closed in the Turkish elections - where voters are deciding whether to grant President Recep Tayyip Erdogan a second five-year term.
He has faced a tough battle with Muharrem Ince, a centre-left candidate who has energised the opposition.
Casting his own vote, the president claimed there had been a high turnout. First results are due later on Sunday.
If Mr Erdogan wins, he will adopt major new powers that critics say will weaken democratic rule.
He is hoping to get more than 50% of the vote in this ballot to avoid going to a second round.
