Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal provides that the postponed local authority elections will be held on a day off, and this day will be a day off within the postponed local authorities and also for workers in the headquarters of these authorities. The proposal requires setting up special polling stations for soldiers in compulsory and career service and in the reserves, and additional polling stations for evacuated residents with double envelopes in various concentrations. In addition, a provision in the taxation law regarding the tax rate on payments during an election period is amended, in an arrangement similar to the provision in previous elections.
