After 21 years of Erdogan government, Turks are making a choice on where there country is going.
Do they stay the course, under a charismatic, authoritarian leader who is credited with modernising their country with big-ticket projects - but who is also blamed for cracking down on their freedoms and removing power from parliament and taking it for himself?
Or do they go with his rival, an opposition leader who has won backing from many of the anti-Erdogan parties and from former Erdogan colleagues?
Kemal Kilicdaroglu, 74, has a history of election defeat but this time could be different.
He promises to return powers to parliament and end the five-year-old executive presidency.
He is also keen to revive Turkey’s previously close ties to the West, both the US and the EU.
For the outside world too, this is a decisive moment. Turkey restricted access to Twitter hours after its prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, threatened to "root out" the social media network where wiretapped recordings have been leaked, damaging the government's reputation ahead of local elections.
Some users trying to use Twitter were taken to a statement apparently from Turkey's telecommunications regulator (TIB).
The statement cited four court orders as the basis for blocking the site, where some users in recent weeks have posted voice recordings and documents purportedly showing evidence of corruption among Erdoğan's inner circle. It said that action had been taken against Twitter as a "protection measure".
But Turkish telecoms watchdog BTK said on Friday that the ban came after complaints were made by citizens that the social media platform was breaching privacy.
