Results expected earlier than first round 

The results are likely to come sooner on Sunday than they did in the first round two weeks ago, according to the chairman of the Supreme Election Board. 

Ahmet Yener said in a televised statement that counting took longer on 14 May because the ballot included 24 political parties running for parliament and four candidates running for president.

With only two people in the ballot box this time around, voting and counting are both expected to take less time. 

“Since only presidential candidates are competing in this election, we think  the results will come in sooner,” he said, adding that voting is proceeding without any problems. 

A broadcast ban on announcing results is likely to be lifted around 6:30pm local time (15:30 GMT).
