Predominantly Kurdish areas of northeastern Syria were holding a ballot on Sunday to choose representatives for the country's transitional parliament, following an agreement this year on integrating the areas into the central authorities.
In a process that began last year, members of local committees across Syria have been casting ballots to elect members of the assembly, which will have a renewable 30-month mandate.
Syria’s election commission on May 24 evening announced the results of voting in some districts in the northeastern and northern provinces.
