Official summary of the law (Knesset)

Due to the war and the need to make the adjustments and changes required to hold local authority elections among soldiers during it, it was determined, as a temporary provision for the upcoming elections, that the voting period at soldiers' polling stations will be extended and may take place during the week ending on the date voting ends at regular polling stations. Upon expiration of the temporary provision, voting at soldiers' polling stations may be held for 72 hours ending on the date voting ends at regular polling stations. It was also determined, as a temporary provision, that not only a conscript soldier may serve on a polling committee, but also a career soldier up to the rank of First Sergeant Major and a reserve soldier up to the rank of Advanced Sergeant Major. In addition, it was determined that in every nursing home where at least 100 residents live, at least one polling station will be set up. It was also determined, as a temporary provision, that in the upcoming elections, due to the Ramadan holiday, in authorities where none of the candidates reached 40%, the repeat elections between the two leading candidates will be held within 12 days instead of within 14 days.
