The caption, translated from Turkish, reads: Job done #saltbae #saltlife#salt.
It remains to be seen how he voted.
Over 55.3 million Turks are able to vote in the country's historic referendum on sweeping changes to the president's role.
If passed, it would grant Recep Tayyip Erdogan more power than any Turkish leader since its founder Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.
