Turkish Elections: Tensions, Violence, and Online Censorship

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his Justice and Development Party (AKP) are hoping to remain in power in the country's parliamentary and presidential elections on May 14. The main opposition coalition is made up of an eclectic mix of six political parties, and a win for them would mean a return to a parliamentary system of governance. The elections are expected to be the closest race in the country's recent electoral history, with concerns including how voting will take place in the earthquake zone and whether Erdoğan would concede and step down if he loses.
