Election campaigns for candidates running for the People's Assembly of the Syrian Arab Republic are ongoing amid public meetings and election tents, particularly in the governorates of Damascus, Aleppo, and Latakia. At the same time, heads of election centers and committees in the governorates have taken their legal oaths before the subordinate judicial committees.

The ruling Ba'ath Party issued a statement calling for widespread participation in the upcoming election scheduled for July 15, emphasizing that "voting is a national responsibility and a duty of both the party and the people, as well as a constitutional right."

It is noteworthy that maintaining constitutional deadlines throughout years of conflict has protected the state, society, and nation and has upheld national legitimacy.

Preparations for the elections have intensified as the Syrian government has discussed ensuring all requirements for the electoral process are met, confirming coordination between various ministries and agencies to create optimal conditions for the election and enable citizens to cast their votes.

The Syrian People's Assembly comprises 250 seats, with 8,953 candidates competing over them, including 1,317 women. The People's Assembly has been the legislative authority in Syria since 1971.

The latest legislative elections in Syria took place on June 19, 2020. At the time, the 250-seat council was composed of 177 seats held by the National Progressive Front and 73 seats held by independent candidates. Hammouda Sabbagh has been serving as the Aseembly's chairperson since then.
