In a decree issued on Saturday, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has scheduled parliamentary elections for July 15, as part of the country’s political process outlined in the constitution.
The decree delineates the distribution of seats in the People’s Assembly, Syria’s parliament, among various sectors across electoral districts. These elections align with the Syrian constitution, which was endorsed through a referendum in 2012, permitting multi-party participation in the political landscape.
The People’s Assembly consists of 250 deputies selected through universal, direct, and secret balloting, each serving a four-year term. This electoral process is a pivotal aspect of Syria’s governance structure, aiming to ensure representation and participation from diverse segments of society.
