Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The Law establishes that the participation of a list of candidates in local authority elections may be prevented if its goals or actions include support for an armed struggle by an enemy state or a terrorist organization against the State of Israel. The Law also allows for the barring of specific candidates from within a list of candidates. In addition, the Law establishes that, both with regard to a barred list and a barred candidate, the local authority's election committee, or the Attorney General or one of their deputies, may submit a petition to the chairperson of the regional election committee, and that, with regard to a barred list, a majority of the election committee's members will be required, while with regard to a barred candidate, two-thirds will be required. Finally, the Law establishes that such a decision may be appealed before the chairperson of the Central Elections Committee for the Knesset, and subsequently to the Supreme Court, on a legal question only.
