Parliamentary elections were held in Syria on 22 and 23 May 1990.[1] No political parties were permitted outside the National Progressive Front, though candidates outside this group could run as independents. Approximately 9,000 candidates ran as independents.[2] Members were elected using the multiple non-transferable vote in fifteen districts, with an average district magnitude of 16.6.[3] The result was a victory for the Ba'ath Party, which won 134 of the 250 seats.[4] Voter turnout was 49.6%.
