Syria votes in the Kurdish northeast

1. Polling returns to Hassakeh and Kobani after January fighting put these districts back under Damascus control.
2. The rest of Syria chose a People's Assembly in October 2025; the Kurdish-majority northeast was still outside that vote.
3. This follow-up vote fills 11 seats: nine for Hassakeh and two for Kobani.
4. The system is indirect: local electoral colleges choose most deputies while President Ahmad al-Sharaa appoints one-third.
