The electoral commission announced that the upcoming parliamentary elections, scheduled for mid-September, will not be held in Sweida, Hasaka, and Raqqa provinces.

Officials emphasized that elections can only take place in regions fully controlled by the government. The vote, set for 15–20 September, will determine the makeup of the 210-member People’s Assembly.
