Don't forget tomorrow is election day in Turkey when candidates from different parties will compete in some 1,398 municipalities, 921 districts and 396 towns across 81 provinces.

Turkey's Supreme Election Board (YSK) have published a list of election-day prohibitions for March 31 local polls.

The list includes a prohibition on the sales of alcoholic beverages from 6 a.m. to 12 a.m.

Consumption of alcoholic beverages is prohibited in public places during the same period.

News media organizations will not be allowed to broadcast any political advertising, predictions or comments about the elections until 6 p.m. Between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. media outlets will only be able to publish official announcements about the elections issued by the YSK.

In addition, all coffee shops, internet cafes and public entertainment places will remain closed, but restaurants will be allowed to serve food during the voting.
