What does the bill do?
The bill amends the Local Authorities (Elections) Law in two ways: first, it allows soldiers to vote at special polling stations placed in territory held by the Israel Defense Forces even if it is not within the land territory of the State of Israel. Second, it allows soldiers to vote during the week before election day, spreading voting over a period of up to 168 hours. The provisions are similar to the existing arrangements in Knesset elections and will also apply to elections for regional councils.
