Voting for Turks living abroad began on May 20 and ends at diplomatic representations on May 24 and at border crossings on May 28. The election is being held in about 17 cities across Germany, where about 1.5 million Turks in Germany are eligible to vote.

Head of Turkey's anti-refugee party Ümit Özdağ said that his party has not yet reached a decision on who it will support in the second round of the presidential elections scheduled for 28 of this month. The head of the Turkish Nationalist Movement Party, Devlet Bahceli, called on Turkish voters to see Turkey's future on ballot paper.
