The High Stakes of Turkey's Upcoming Election.

Young voters, who make up almost 8% of the electorate, could decide the outcome of Turkey's presidential and parliamentary elections. Many first-time voters have known no other leader but Recep Tayyip Erdogan, but some are disillusioned with his 20-year rule and the difficulties faced by young people in Turkey, including soaring inflation. Opposition candidate Kemal Kilicdaroglu is challenging Erdogan's grip on power, promising greater freedoms and better employment prospects. The votes of women will also be decisive, and conservative women who helped bring Erdogan to power two decades ago are now alienated by his policies.
