    Remember that the usual Turkish election night drill applies: ignore early results; they do not represent a trend. Both parties will use social media to construct a favourable narrative. When officials start crying foul play, check their seniority (more junior = less reliable).

    Polls close in Istanbul with 10.5m eligible voters in rerun of mayoral vote. No turnout figures available yet; election fatigue, high temps & summer holidays may suppress numbers. But ruling party official told me both sides worked hard to get out vote incl. busing people home

    It moves me every time. We can barely persuade a majority of our country to turn out to vote. Turks' commitment to settling their differences at the ballot box, however slim the hope of a free election, puts the rest of the world to shame.
