Parliamentary elections were held in Syria on 9 October 1953.[1] They were the elections held under the 1953 constitution, which granted universal suffrage to women, scrapping the educational requirements used in previous elections.[2]
The result was a victory for the Arab Liberation Movement, which won 72 of the 82 seats.[3] The People's Party and the National Party were both closed down and prohibited from operating. Most of their leaders were imprisoned or under house arrest due to President Adib al-Shishakli's tyrannical regime that came to power after a coup d'état 3 years earlier.
