Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill adds a condition to Basic Law: The Knesset, under which only those who served in the army or in national service (or who were found medically unfit to serve) will be entitled to vote in Knesset elections. The bill is justified by the argument that maintaining democracy requires a balance between civic rights and duties toward the state, and by the security need for sufficient recruitment of personnel to the army in the current security circumstances.
