Syria’s Higher Committee for People’s Assembly Elections announced on Monday that polling stations will open on Thursday, October 23, in the cities of Ras al-Ain, Tel Abyad, and at the People’s Assembly headquarters in Damascus to elect three members representing parts of Raqqa and Hasakah provinces
Committee spokesperson Nawar Najmeh shared the announcement in a post on the X platform, noting that voting will begin at 9 a.m
Najmeh also added that the remaining seats in Raqqa, Hasakah, and Sweida provinces will remain vacant until security and political conditions allow for additional supplementary elections to be held.
He emphasized that these vacant seats will not affect the convening of parliamentary sessions or the legitimacy of the assembly’s decisions
Syrian parliamentary elections were held on October 5 in most governorates, but elections in Sweida, and parts of Hasakah and Raqqa were postponed to later dates.
