About the law and the debate

Official summary of the law (Knesset)

In light of the state of war in which the State of Israel currently finds itself and the significant difficulties arising from holding elections during this period, it was determined that the date of the general elections for local authorities and regional councils will be postponed by three months, to 30 January 2024. In addition, it was determined that if the Government is satisfied that circumstances exist preventing the elections from being held on that date, it may, by order approved by the Knesset, following the recommendation of the Interior and Environment Committee adopted by three-quarters of its members, postpone the election date to 27 February 2024.

על רקע מצב המלחמה שבו מצויה מדינת ישראל בימים אלה והקשיים המשמעותיים הנובעים מקיום מערכת בחירות במהלך תקופה זו, נקבע כי יידחה מועד הבחירות הכלליות לרשויות המקומיות ולמועצות האזוריות בשלושה חודשים, ליום כ' בשבט התשפ"ד (30בינואר 2024). בנוסף, נקבע כי אם נוכחה הממשלה כי נתקיימו נסיבות אשר מונעות עריכת הבחירות במועד זה, היא רשאית, בצו שיאושר בכנסת, לאחר קבלת המלצתה של ועדת הפנים והגנת הסביבה על ידי שלושה רבעים מחבריה, לדחות את מועד הבחירות ליום י"ח באדר א' התשפ"ד (27 בפברואר 2024).
