AA
Voting begin to elect members of the country’s People’s Assembly (parliament), the Higher Committee for People’s Assembly Elections said in Ayn al-Arab district of Aleppo Governorate in northern Syria, on May 24, 2026. Polling opened in the Hasakah and Qamishli districts of Hasakah province, as well as in the Ain al-Arab district of Aleppo province, the SANA news agency said, citing the committee. The committee stated that 12 candidates are contesting two seats in Ain al-Arab from an electoral body of 100 members, while 13 candidates are competing for three seats in Hasakah, where 150 electors are eligible to vote.

Syria's election commission announced voting results in districts across northeastern and northern provinces to elect members of the People's Assembly. Voter turnout reached 92% in Hasakah, 95% in Ain al-Arab, and 75% in Qamishli, with officials calling the voting a success.

Syria's election commission on Sunday evening announced the results of voting in some districts in the northeastern and northern provinces to elect members of the country's People's Assembly (parliament). Nawar Najmeh, spokesman for the Higher Committee for the People's Assembly Elections, told the SANA news agency that Farhad Anwar Shahin and Shawakh Ibrahim al-Assaf were elected in Ain al-Arab in Aleppo.

Elected representatives


In Hasakah, Ibrahim Mustafa al-Ali, Omar Issa Hayes, and Fasla Khader Youssef won seats, while Kim Hussein Ibrahim, Radwan Othman Eiso, Abdul Halim Khader al-Ali, and Mahmoud Madi al-Ali were elected in Qamishli. SANA said the allocated seats were filled uncontested in Hasakah's al-Malikiyah district after only two candidates registered.


High turnout


Najmeh said voter turnout reached 92 percent in Hasakah, 95 percent in Ain al-Arab, and 75 percent in Qamishli. The spokesman declared Sunday's voting a success. "The people of Hasakah have successfully made their voices heard before the Syrian people and the world, demonstrating their capacity for participation," he told SANA.


New Syria


He said the successful voting "marked a pivotal turning point in the features of the new Syria." In October 2025, Syria held the first parliamentary elections since the fall of the Bashar al-Assad regime in late 2024. The 210-member People's Assembly has a 30-month term within a four-year transitional period.
