The Syrian People's Council election has been postponed to October 5

The elections for the Syrian People's Council have been postponed to October 5. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

According to the initial plan, voting was scheduled for September 15-20. However, the election commission decided to postpone the elections due to ongoing hostilities in the country and population displacement, emphasizing that civil status certificates are unreliable.

This decision was made to allocate additional time for logistical issues and technical preparations. The election college plans to elect 140 members, while the remaining 70 members will be temporarily appointed by Syrian President Ahmad al-Shara.

The provisional parliament will operate for a period of 30 months and will serve as the legislative body until a permanent constitution is adopted. This structure is designed to ensure the uninterrupted functioning of state institutions and maintain legal stability.

The People's Council was dissolved by a provisional government decree on January 29. Therefore, the new arrangement aims to reorganize the election process, update voter lists, and stabilize document circulation.

Experts assess this decision as a way to reduce logistical burdens and create a coordinated calendar. Overall, the postponement of the elections to October 5 is aimed at restoring balance between security, documentation, and organizational matters.

Officials promise to improve infrastructure, fully update the voter database, and increase the transparency of the election process before the new deadline.
