Ankara, Turkey (CNN) Millions of Turks will vote Sunday on a controversial new draft constitution that would give sweeping new powers to the country's president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Under a "Yes" result -- which requires a simple majority -- the role of prime minister would be abolished and the president would be able to rule with minimal sign-off from parliament. Erdogan's supporters say the new system would bring political and economic stability. The post of Prime Minister would be abolished after the 2019 national elections, and time-limits on the newly-empowered presidency would be reset. If he won in 2019 and 2024, Erdogan could be in power until 2029.
