Turkey general election 2023: President of the Republic (first round)

Final count

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.
