Voters are being asked to endorse an 18-article reform package put forward by the ruling Justice and Development Party that would replace the current system of parliamentary democracy with a powerful executive presidency.
If passed, the new measures would amount to the biggest constitutional upheaval for the country since its foundation in 1923 after the demise of the Ottoman Empire.
They would cement Erdogan`s grip on a country whose divisions have deepened since a failed coup attempt last July that ended with the deaths of more than 250 people and led to a the imposition of a fierce crackdown on dissent.
Casting his vote in Istanbul on Sunday, Erdogan evoked the revered founder of modern Turkey. "This referendum is no ordinary vote . We are realizing the dream of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk to make Turkey a more civilized country."
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan casts his vote accompanied by his wife Emine Erdogan at a polling station in the Uskudar district of Istanbul.
Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, leader, of the one of the main opposition parties, the Republican People`s Party (CHP), voted in Ankara along with his wife and son.
"We carried out a nice campaign process," he told CNN Turk.
"I am so happy. I hope the result will be good and then we will talk about the main problems of Turkey."
Turkey`s Prime Minister Binali Yildirim, who voted in Izmir, told reporters: "Whatever the result may be, it will be highly respected by us."
Divided nation
Erdogan`s supporters say the reforms will help kick start a lethargic economy and stabilize a nation dealing with the resurgence of a 30-year conflict with militants from the Kurdistan Workers` Party (PKK). Opponents fear the proposals amount to a constitutional dictatorship.
"I think this referendum is very important because this country had a lot of problems with the current system," 27-year-old Ozcan Ayata told CNN in Ankara Sunday after voting at a local school in the Sogutozu district.
"The tension between the President and the Prime Ministers during coalition governments caused crises that took the country 20 years back and allowed Europe to meddle in Turkey`s interior politics."
But opponents worry about giving more control to a president already pushing the boundaries of his power. "My vote means my independence and emancipation," Gulsum Kilic, a 48-year-old interpreter from Ankara, told CNN.
"I voted for a good future for my children and everyone`s children. Staying as a secular republic is very important for this country."
Erdogan`s rise to power
Critics say the clampdown has gone beyond the supporters of the coup and is designed to silence dissent in the runup to the referendum.
The new arrangements would kick in over time. 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.
Erdogan would once again be able to lead the Justice and Development Party -- at the moment, the presidency is supposed to be politically neutral. He would also be able to appoint a number of senior judges.
