Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal extends the deadline for submitting election funding applications by candidates, factions and local authorities in which elections were held on February 27, 2024, due to the postponements of the elections and the effects of the Iron Swords War. Candidates and authorities that did not submit an application on time will be able to do so up to 30 days from the commencement of this law. Payment will be made in stages: 85% of the amount upon submission of the notice to the Minister of Interior, and the remaining 15% after an audit of the accounts by the State Comptroller, in accordance with the provisions of the Funding Law.
