It is noteworthy that political parties running independently wishing to obtain a seat in Parliament must pass the electoral threshold, which represents 7% of the vote, whereas if it is part of an alliance, then the total votes of this alliance must exceed the percentage of the electoral threshold.

The Turkish President and current candidate for the presidential elections, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, in a tweet on his official Twitter account, said, "I ask all of my litigants and colleagues to stay at the ballot boxes, no matter what until the results are officially finalized."
