Members edit
Population reviews of each electoral district are conducted before each general election, which can lead to certain districts being granted a smaller or greater number of parliamentary seats. Istanbul has the largest number of allocated seats and also the largest number of electoral districts within its provincial boundaries.
The province's administrative districts (ilçe) are divided among three electoral districts as follows:[1]
| 1st district | 2nd district | 3rd district |
