TL;DRExtension of the deadline for submitting election funding applications for local authority elections held in February 2024, for a period of 30 days from the law's commencement.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal extends the deadline for submitting election funding applications for candidates, factions and lists that took part in the local authority elections on February 27, 2024. This extension is intended for candidates who did not manage to submit applications within the time allotted in the Election Funding Law of 1993, due to election delays and also due to the effect of the Iron Swords War on their ability to participate. Payment will be 85% of the funding amount upon submission of the application and 15% after an audit of the accounts by the State Comptroller, subject to compliance with the provisions of the Funding Law.
