Israel to Open First Voting Stations in Morocco, UAE, and Bahrain for Legislative Elections

The opening of polling stations will be effective, Thursday, March 4, in the Israeli diplomatic representations in Morocco, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain on the occasion of the 24th legislative elections, reports the Israeli newspaper Maariv. There are 4,000 of these Israelis with the right to vote in these elections in these three countries.

In total, 104 polling stations will be opened in 100 Israeli diplomatic representations abroad, the same source specifies. Israel will open three polling stations in New York for 550 voters and only one in the Dominican Republic for just 4 voters.

The legislative elections will take place on March 23 in Israel. These elections are organized in advance, for the fourth consecutive time, in less than two years. This is due to the failure of the Knesset to adopt a budget for 2020. Voters will have to elect the 120 members of this parliament whose seat is in Jerusalem.
