Vote counting will begin immediately after polling closes, with the preliminary results expected later on Sunday.

In October 2025, Syria held the first parliamentary elections since the fall of the Bashar al Assad regime in late 2024.

In August 2025, the Syrian election commission announced the postponement of voting in the Suwayda, Raqqa and Hasakah provinces due to “security challenges.”

In March this year, elections were held in Raqqa, with four candidates winning seats after the voter turnout exceeded 90 percent.

The 210-member People’s Assembly has a 30-month term, renewable, within a four-year transitional period, with the possibility of an additional year extension.

The Assembly is responsible for proposing and passing laws, amending or repealing existing laws, ratifying international treaties, approving the state budget, and granting amnesties.
