According to this article (and others from their last election) about 3 million. That's only 5% of domestic voters, but if you look at how close the lection was and how Erdogan cultivates the diaspora, it matters.

I don't think Turkiye is alone in allowing expats to vote, but once folks receive citizenship in a new country this seems problematic IMO.

The paywall is strong with this one! I wasn't able to get around it.

Everything I have read in the past has indicated that until something changes with Turkiye's overseas voters, Erdogan will remain in power. It doesn't seem like he needs a majority at home.

Thanks! Now I think that when you said "card is online" you meant the SIM card, not credit card. I use an alternative OS that, as I understand it, does a little to offset the tracking but it is, indeed, outside of my scope! I mostly have my phone on airplane mode, even away from home, but of course not always. I do know that this OS eliminates the ability for the phone to call home when on airplane mode.

whenever that card is online

Do you mean when the card is an active card viable for use? Or stored in the phone somehow? I'm curious what online means and if I am doing it... I don't have any payments connected to a mobile phone but I do have a SIM card, probably paid for with a now expired card.
