What does the bill do?
The bill changes Section 7A of Basic Law: The Knesset to expand the definition of support for terror that may serve as grounds for barring candidates or competing lists. In addition, the bill sets that a decision of the Central Elections Committee to disqualify candidates will be subject to appeal at the Supreme Court (as opposed to the approval procedure that currently exists), and sets that parties in a joint venture will be considered separate parties for the purpose of disqualification.
