The Syr Darya electoral district (Russian: Сыр-Дарьинский избирательный округ) was a constituency created for the 1917 Russian Constituent Assembly election. The electoral district covered the Syr-Darya Oblast, except for the Amu Darya Division.[3]
Seven candidate lists registered to contest the election in Syr Darya; List 1 - Second Congress of Peasant Deputies, List 2 - Muslim Congress of the Syr-Darya Province, List 3 - All-Muslim List, List 4 - Mensheviks, List 5 - Kadets, List 6 - Progressives and List 7 - Socialist-Revolutionaries. List 1 and List 7 had an electoral alliance.[4] In the autumn of 1917, a meeting of the Muslim National Committee and the Musavat Party had decided to field Alimardan Topchubashov as their candidate in Amu Darya.[5] Alash Orda did not field a separate list in Syr-Darya, but joined with other Muslim forces for the election.[6]
Voting in Syr-Darya was postponed until mid-Dec 1917, then to January 19, 1918.[7] In the end no vote ever took place.[7] [8] 9 seats had been allotted to Syr Darya.[9]
