Voting in Turkey's presidential election begins at borders

ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Turkish nationals living abroad began casting their ballots on Saturday at border customs offices, launching the voting cycle in the country's first direct presidential election.

Election officials set up 42 polling stations at land crossings, airports and sea harbours that will remain open for arriving Turks until Aug. 10, the date that voters living in Turkey will go to the polls for a first round of the election.
