Reforms lead to electing the president by popular suffrage
A referendum on Turkey's constitutional reforms, including electing the president by popular vote is to take place on October 21st.
Turkey's Electoral Council announced October 21 as the date for the referendum, but said the suffrage will not affect the election of outgoing President Ahmet Necdet Sezer's successor, who is expected to be elected by parliament in August as the current law requires."
