According to AFP, polling stations in Turkey have reportedly closed at around 5:00 pm this afternoon.  

The elections are considered the most important in the Republic's 100-year history: whereby Turkey is set at a crossroads. Erdogan's claim for a new term of the presidency is contended by Kilicdaroglu who aims to pivot Turkey towards a more secular Westernized course. 

Hundreds of supervisors were reportedly deployed to the 50,000 polling stations since 8:00 am this morning.

In addition to the observers appointed by the parties, the Council of Europe sent 350 supervisors to oversee the election process.
