Parties is the plural; parties' is the possessive plural. He used to go to parties. It is the political parties' right to stand for election. |

Lorraine16,
As Twoddle has indicated, it is the context that will determine which of parties or parties' is correct. If you are still not sure from what Twoddle said, can you give us some idea of how the word is used.
