What does the bill do?
The bill amends Basic Law: The Knesset so as to add a condition for participating in general Knesset elections. Under the bill, only those who served in the army or in national service will be able to vote, unless a court has revoked this right or they were exempt from service for medical reasons as determined by the Israel Defense Forces. The explanatory notes point to a link between civic rights and duties, and frame the bill in the context of military need and conscription.
