On Sunday, Syria will hold the first parliamentary elections since the fall of the Assad regime, however the voting process will not be direct, and concerns about inclusion remain.

The first parliamentary elections in Syria since the removal of Bashar al-Assad will take place on Sunday, but the vote will not be direct, and the authorities have postponed the elections in three provinces for security reasons. Interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa has promised a democratic transition, but civil society groups warn that the elections will be "at best symbolic, lacking their democratic purpose of ensuring representation and accountability." The number of seats in parliament will be limited, and 20% of candidates must be women, with no minimum quotas for minorities. The elections have sparked controversy and concerns regarding the government's influence over the electoral process.
