Voting is under way in Turkey elections as President Recep Tayyip Erdogan faces the biggest political challenge of his two-decade rule. More than 64 million eligible voters will cast their ballots to elect a president and parliament for a five-year term. The polls opened at 8am (05:00 GMT) and will close at 5pm (14:00 GMT). Media organisations are barred from reporting partial results until an embargo is lifted at 9pm (18:00 GMT) If no candidate secures more than half the votes in the first round of voting, a May 28 run-off will be held. Key election issues are the economy, earthquake relief operations, brain drain, refugees, and values and identity.
