Syria is conducting its first parliamentary elections since the fall of longtime leader Bashar Assad in December 2024. The vote, taking place on October 5, 2025, involves electoral colleges selecting most seats amid challenges from displacement and regional tensions. While not a full popular vote, the process aims to gauge the interim government's commitment to inclusivity.
