Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who is running for the office for the third time, on May 14 casted his vote for the parliamentary and presidential elections in Istanbul's Üsküdar district.

"According to the information I received from Interio Minister, the (electoral) process continues without incident and any problems. The most important was the use of votes in the earthquake zone. Our citizens in the earthquake zone cast their votes with great love. There is no problem there either," Erdoğan said after voting.
