When is the Turkey general election 2023?

Polling day is 2023-05-14 (officially set).

When will the final result of the President of the Republic (first round) race be official?

Expected between polls close and 2023-05-28T20:59:59Z (UTC), confidence precedent. Polls closed at 17:00 local (UTC+3, no DST) = 14:00 UTC: Law 298 art. 89, voting 'saat sekizden on yediye kadar' (08:00-17:00); no change of hours by the YSK for this polling day was found. Voting abroad and at customs gates took place on earlier days and is included in the YSK's totals. Law 6271 art. 20(1): 'Cumhurbaşkanı seçiminin kesin sonuçları, Yüksek Seçim Kurulu tarafından Türkiye Büyük Millet Meclisi Başkanlığı ile Cumhurbaşkanlığı Makamına bildirilir, kamuoyuna ilân edilir ve Resmî Gazetede yayımlanır'; the law sets no deadline. Window: end of day 14 (Sun 28 May 2023 local), after the 2018 precedent (YSK decision 952 of 4 Jul 2018, day 10; Resmî Gazete 30468 Mükerrer) and no later than the second round, which needs the first-round result. Actual: YSK decision 2023/1091, 'kesin sonuçlarının tespitine ... tespit ve ilânına' and item 3 'ilk oylamada adayların hiçbirinin geçerli oyların salt çoğunluğunu alamadığına', taken '19.05.2023 tarihinde oy birliği ile' and published in Resmî Gazete 32195 (Mükerrer) of 19 May 2023 (day 5). The decision gives a date only, no time: observedAt is the end of that day, 23:59:59 local (UTC+3) = 20:59:59 UTC. YSK decisions are final and cannot be appealed to any other body (Constitution art. 79), so there is no court-validation stage. No election-night stage is recorded: the provisional count on 15 May 2023 is known here only from press (NTV), not from a YSK document read for this record.

Recep Tayyip Erdoğan	—	27,133,849	49.5%
Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu	—	24,595,178	44.9%
Sinan Oğan	—	2,831,239	5.2%

Total votes		54,796,049

Turnout 87.0%: 55,833,153 ballots from 64,145,504 registered voters.

Table CM/5 'Yurt içi, yurt dışı ve gümrük sandıkları dahil Cumhurbaşkanı seçim sonucu' (Turkey-wide total incl. abroad and customs gates): registered 64,145,504; voters 55,833,153; valid 54,796,049; invalid 1,037,104; turnout 87.04%. Shares: Erdoğan 49.52%, Kılıçdaroğlu 44.88%, Oğan 5.17%, İnce 0.43%. All 4 candidates listed (the table prints names in capitals, in ballot order İnce second; rows here are by votes). Checked twice: rows add up to the valid votes, and the domestic (CM/2: 52,972,934), abroad (CM/3: 1,676,268) and customs (CM/4: 146,847) columns add up to each candidate's total. 'winner' marks the most votes only: no candidate won an absolute majority, so nobody was elected in this round (decision item 3); Erdoğan and Kılıçdaroğlu went to the second round of 28 May 2023 (turkey-presidential-2023-r2). The table gives no party for the candidates.

Turnout 87.0%: 55,835,895 ballots from 64,145,504 registered voters.

Votes: table MM/24 'C) Yurt içi, yurt dışı ve gümrük sandıkları dahil milletvekili genel seçimi sonucu', column 'Türkiye geneli toplam' (Gazette p. 5): voters 55,835,895; valid 54,442,588; invalid 1,393,307; turnout 87.05%. Seats: table MM/25 'D) ... siyasi partilerin çıkardıkları milletvekili ile bağımsızların sayısı' (p. 6), Türkiye toplamı 600; seat rows add up to 600. One vote per voter for a provincial party list or an independent (D'Hondt per province, 7% national threshold, alliance votes counted together for the threshold), so a single row set. All 24 parties and the independents' line ('Bağımsızlar') are listed, so rows add up to the valid votes; names in the decision's tables are in capitals and are given here in normal case; rows are by votes, not in ballot order. Each party's votes include its share of the alliance-only ('ittifak ortak') votes as distributed by the YSK (shown separately for abroad in MM/22: 8,657 such votes). Seats are as the YSK assigns them to the list each member was elected on; some members elected on one party's list belong to another party, which this table does not show. Electorate: MM/24 gives no registered-voter total; 64,145,504 is the sum of the decision's own domestic (MM/21: 60,721,745) and abroad/customs (MM/22: 3,423,759) figures, equal to the Turkey-wide registered total in the same day's presidential decision 2023/1091 (CM/5), and gives the stated 87.05% turnout. Checked twice: the domestic (52,628,182) and abroad/customs (1,814,406) columns add up to each party's total.
