TL;DR Summary

Turkish expats have started voting in the presidential run-off between incumbent Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his challenger Kemal Kilicdaroglu. The diaspora vote had a clear impact on the outcome of the first round of the presidential election, with each politician retaining his strongholds in Europe where more than five million people of Turkish descent live. The second round of voting takes place domestically on May 28 after Erdogan fell just short of the 50 percent threshold needed to win the presidential vote outright on May 14.
