Here are live updates from the polls throughout Turkey:

01:16 – As counting is about to be concluded, the ruling AKP has a comfortable lead over the main opposition CHP in İstanbul, like most of the country. CHP wins a landslide victory in İzmir, while Ankara, another key battleground of the March 30 local elections, is too close to call like several other cities where the new mayors can only be announced by official results March 31.
