Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill adds a new chapter to the Elections Law defining the voting rights of aircrew members. A voter who is an aircrew member and is abroad, or partly abroad, because of their job on election day will be able to vote at a special polling station for aircrew to be placed at an airport – provided that they are registered in the voters register and cannot vote at their regular polling station. Airlines are required to submit lists of their aircrew members to the Civil Aviation Authority up to 48 days before the elections. Voting at the special polling station may take place within the 63 hours before voting ends on election day. The law will take effect four months after its publication.
