The Central Elections Committee has extended the deadline for overseas residents to complete their status registration procedures for the upcoming election, shifting the cutoff from August 4 to August 7, according to reports. The extension follows complaints of hotline overload raised by MK Gilad Kariv (Labor).
The Central Elections Committee has extended the deadline for overseas residents to complete their status registration procedures ahead of the October 27 general election, according to reports. The new deadline is Friday, August 7, replacing the original cutoff of August 4. The change follows complaints of overload at the committee's hotline, which were raised by MK Gilad Kariv (Labor) in an appeal earlier Monday.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Monday, Kariv urged the committee and the Interior Ministry to extend the deadline for voters to correct their registration details, citing failures in public service. The committee's decision addresses the specific issue of overseas voters who need to leave time for appeal in case of rejection.
The general voter registry will close on September 7, with the final deadline for general address changes set for September 3.
