Türkiye’s citizens are heading to the polls today in a crucial civic moment to shape local leadership across all 81 provinces. From bustling Istanbul to coastal Antalya, voters will elect mayors and district officials who’ll drive community policies for years to come. 🗳️
Polling stations opened at 7 a.m. (local time) in eastern regions, while western provinces started an hour later at 8 a.m. Voting wraps up by 4 p.m. and 5 p.m., respectively. \"This is where democracy gets personal,\" said one Ankara resident, highlighting the impact of local governance on daily life.
Why does this matter? 💡 Local leaders handle everything from waste management to cultural initiatives, making these elections a direct line between voters and their neighborhoods. With Türkiye’s dynamic political landscape, the results could also signal shifting national trends.
