Polls close In Turkey

It is now 5pm in Turkey and voting has ended in both the country’s parliamentary and presidential elections.

Under Turkish law, reporting of any results is banned until 9pm local time.

By later this evening we should have a good indication of whether either presidential candidate has cleared the 50% bar necessary to avoid a runoff in a fortnight’s time
