Syria's incumbent President Bashar al-Assad has won a third seven-year term
in office in the presidential elections that took place on Tuesday, the Syrian
Parliament announced on Wednesday.
According to a parliament speaker, 1,319,723 people voted for Assad, which
made about 88.7 percent of the votes.
Earlier on Wednesday Syria's Supreme Constitutional Court said that
11,634,412 out of 15,845,575 eligible voters participated in the presidential
elections, placing the turnout rate at 73.42 percent.
The general election started at 7:00 a.m. local time (0400 GMT) on Tuesday
and was previously scheduled to end at 7:00 p.m. local time (1600 GMT). But the
Supreme Judicial Committee, which was tasked with overseeing the electoral
process, later announced to extend the voting for another five hours until
midnight on Tuesday, citing a "huge turnout."
It is the first multi-candidate presidential election in Syria' s modern
history, which has been dismissed by the exiled opposition and their Western
backers as "farce."

根据叙利亚议会2月通过的新宪法，总统由选民直接选举，任期为7年，只允许连任1次。总统候选人需获得绝对多数选民票数才能当选。此次大选投票分境内和境外两阶段进行，境外投票于5月28日启动，境内投票于当地时间3日7时启动，随后最高选举司法委员会决定将投票时间延长5小时，于当地时间4日零时结束。
