Fifteen parties are fielding candidates in Sunday's elections, with 550 seats in Turkey's parliament up for grabs. In addition, many independent candidates, including those representing the pro-Kurdish Peace and Democracy Party (BDP), are also standing. Parties need to secure at least 10 per cent of the national vote to earn parliamentary seats, but this does not apply to independent candidates.

Here's a full list of parties, as provided by Turkey's election board (YSK), via the Anatolia news agency, according to their place on the ballot papers:

• Justice and Development Party (AKP)
