After the announcement of the preliminary results.. The Syrian Electoral Commission announces a plan to fill the vacancy in 12 districts

The Supreme Committee for the Elections of the Syrian People's Assembly announced today, Monday, the preliminary results of the elections that took place in the electoral districts across the provinces, while preparing to hold a meeting tomorrow, Tuesday, to establish a mechanism for conducting elections in the remaining 12 districts.

This came in accordance with decision No. 66 issued by the committee, which clarified the opening of the door for appeals on the stages of the electoral process, including the electoral campaigning, the voting process, and the counting of votes, until the end of official working hours on Monday, October 6, 2025.

For his part, the head of the Supreme Committee for the Elections of the People's Assembly, Muhammad Taha Al-Ahmad, confirmed that the committee "has not received a response from some parties outside the control of the Syrian state." He also pointed to the existence of "pressures from the residents of the areas where the electoral process did not take place."

Al-Ahmad explained, in statements to the Syrian News Agency, that "coordination is ongoing with local community representatives to ensure the integrity and transparency of the electoral process."

The head of the committee revealed a plan to fill the vacancies in the districts where elections were postponed, emphasizing the "state's desire for the first session of the People's Assembly to include all components of the Syrian people."

Regarding the formation of the council, Al-Ahmad indicated that "President Ahmad Al-Shara will focus on appointing technocrats and competencies in the People's Assembly and correcting the gaps," referring to the appointed third that will be designated under the constitutional declaration.

This announcement comes a day after the end of the voting operations in all Syrian provinces, as announced by the official spokesperson for the Supreme Committee for Elections, Nawar Najma, who said: "Voting operations have ended in all Syrian provinces."

According to the Supreme Committee, about 6,000 people participated in the process of selecting representatives, and more than 1,500 candidates competed, of whom only 14% were women, for membership in the council, which will have a renewable term of 30 months.

It is noteworthy that the formation of the next parliament is done through a mechanism specified by the constitutional declaration, where two-thirds of the members, totaling 210 members, were elected through regional bodies formed by a Supreme Committee, while the Syrian president appoints the remaining third.

The elections committee had previously announced the postponement of selecting council members in the provinces of Sweida, Raqqa, and Hasakah due to what it described as "security challenges."
