The Knesset Constitution Committee gave its final approval Monday evening for a first reading of the elections bill for the 26th Knesset, N12's Daphna Liel reports. The legislation includes special provisions for voting by evacuees amid the security situation and addresses digital campaign regulation to prevent misleading propaganda.
The Knesset Constitution Committee, chaired by MK Simcha Rothman, finalized the election bill for the 26th Knesset and approved it for its first reading on Monday evening, according to N12's Daphna Liel.
As The Zioneer reported moments earlier, the bill aims to establish special provisions to enable the proper conduct of elections amid the ongoing security situation, including facilitating voting for evacuees. It also codifies lessons from the Central Elections Committee following the 25th Knesset elections, specifically targeting digital campaign propaganda that may mislead the public.
The bill now advances to the Knesset plenum for its first reading. The timeline for the legislation remains unclear; the next Knesset election is not yet scheduled, as the government has been in office since early 2023.
