Israel's general elections will be held on October 27, the official schedule confirmed Sunday evening, with the government completing its full four-year term for the first time since the 1990s, according to reports.
The Knesset election date was formally set for October 27 Sunday evening, confirming the date that coalition negotiators had pushed toward in recent days. The government completes its full four-year term, a milestone last achieved in the 1990s, according to reports. As The Zioneer reported earlier Sunday, the Knesset is set to dissolve this week, with the legislative window closing on July 17. The 107-day campaign period runs until the vote; party lists must be submitted by September 7, the Knesset legal adviser has recommended. The Haredi parties agreed to the schedule in exchange for advancing a legislative sprint of their priority bills — including the Basic Law: Torah Study — before dissolution.
