Turks will go to the polls on May 14 to elect a new parliament and president, with early voting already underway at polling sites abroad. The incumbent leader, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, will face his most difficult challenge in two decades. What do the polls tell us? What is the mood on the ground? What are parties doing to secure the ballot box? To address these questions and more, please join Gönül Tol, Director of MEI’s Turkey Program, for a discussion with scholars Seren Selvin Korkmaz, Can Selçuki, and Murat Somer.
