The Knesset plenum approved the law proposal to amend the laws related to local elections, in order to allow soldiers residing in the Gaza Strip, which is not considered Israeli sovereign territory, to vote. MKs supported the proposal without votes against or abstained.

Due to the war and the need to carry out the needed changes among soldiers and the army, it is proposed to established temporary orders extending the duration of early voters among IDF soldiers and the candidates eligible to serve on a military election board.
