More than 55 million Turkish citizens began voting across the country on Sunday in a referendum proposing key constitutional changes, including giving wide-ranging executive powers to the President, Turkish News Agency Anadolu reports.
The electorate in Turkey is being asked to vote Yes or No to an 18-article reform bill, which would also change the current parliamentary system to a presidential one.
The Yes campaign is backed by the ruling Justice and Development (AK) Party and the opposition, Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), whereas the main opposition, Republican People's Party (CHP), is in favor of No.
