Some 42,000 candidates contested the elections.[1] The election took place on the second day of an opposition called general strike, with the Arab and Kurdish opposition boycotting the election. The Syrian government claimed the elections were a success and enjoyed a high turnout, however turnout in many parts of the country was seen as low.[2][1][1][2][3][4] Background{{main|Syrian Civil War}}The elections occur amidst the backdrop of the opening stages of the Syrian Civil War, which had initially started as protests and had evolved into increasingly violent confrontations. By December 2011 the Civil Uprising phase of the Civil War was mostly over, with the conflict taking an increasingly militaristic direction and significant fighting taking place across the country, particularly in the governorates of Idlib, Hama, Daraa, Deir ez-Zor, and Rif Dimashq. The crisis had begun in March 2011, and by the local elections in December 2011 an estimates 5,000 people had been killed.[5] In the face of increasing unrest the Syrian government framed the elections as part of a wider reform agenda,[5] claiming that a new local administration law brought in during August 2011 had granted local administrations more powers and financial independence. Other changes cited by the government included the elections being overseen by judicial committees as opposed to the Interior Ministry, and a change from a prior closed-list electoral system that guaranteed 50% of all municipal seats for the Ba'athist led National Progressive Front to a system without lists where citizens could vote for any candidate. More than 14.5 million Syrians were eligible to vote, including thousands of Kurds who had been granted citizenship by a Presidential decree in April 2011.[6] References1. ^{{cite news |last= |first= |date= |title=Syria unrest: Local elections held despite fighting |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-16135298 |newspaper=BBC News |location= |access-date= }} {{Syrian Civil War}}{{Syrian elections}}{{asia-election-stub}}{{syria-stub}}2. ^{{cite news |last= |first= |date= |title=Syria holds elections amid crackdown – Monday 12 December 2011 |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/middle-east-live/2011/dec/12/syria-holds-elections-amid-crackdown-live-updates |newspaper=The Guardian |location= |access-date= }} 3. ^{{cite news |last= |first= |date= |title=Syrians hold strikes amid battles in south |url=http://www.aljazeera.com/news/middleeast/2011/12/201112119332270503.html |newspaper=Al Jazeera |location= |access-date= }} 4. ^{{cite news |last= |first= |date= |title=Syrians vote as violence rages through country |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/syria/8950607/Syrians-vote-as-violence-rages-through-country.html |newspaper=The Telegraph |location= |access-date= }} 5. ^1 2 3 {{cite news |last= |first= |date= |title=Syria holds local elections as deadly clashes reportedly continue |url=http://articles.latimes.com/2011/dec/13/world/la-fg-syria-elections-20111213 |newspaper=Los Angeles Times |location= |access-date= }} 6. ^1 {{cite news |last= |first= |date= |title=Syrian opposition calls for poll boycott |url=http://www.aljazeera.com/news/middleeast/2011/12/2011121117454234922.html |newspaper=Al Jazeera |location= |access-date= }} 2 : 2011 elections in Asia|2011 in Syria |
