The Constitution Committee gave final approval Monday for the first reading of the bill for elections to the 26th Knesset, according to N12's Daphna Liel. The bill includes special provisions for voting by evacuees amid the security situation and addresses digital campaign regulation to prevent misleading propaganda.
The Constitution Committee's approval advances the bill to the Knesset plenum for its first reading, a key step toward finalizing the legislative framework for the 2026 elections. The proposed legislation includes provisions to facilitate voting by evacuees displaced by the security situation and to regulate digital campaign advertising, including measures against misleading propaganda. The bill is part of a broader series of legislative preparations for the 2026 elections, which the committee has been discussing in recent weeks. As The Zioneer reported on June 22, the committee had debated measures including mandatory labeling of AI-generated campaign ads and expanding voting options outside a voter's registered address. The Central Elections Committee had also initiated sweeping legislative changes in June, as reported by The Zioneer on June 18.
