Israel's military is preparing to establish polling stations in the occupied territories of Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria for the upcoming general election on October 27, 2022, according to Army Radio. The Israeli army chief, Eyal Zamir, has directed military officials to ensure voting opportunities for soldiers stationed beyond Israel's internationally recognized borders.
This initiative, described by Army Radio as unprecedented in decades, aims to extend the right to vote to combat troops stationed in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza. Although Israeli soldiers have been voting at military bases in the West Bank for years, this move represents an expansion of voting facilities into neighboring occupied territories.
Last week, Israel's Central Elections Committee approved the necessary regulations for the election, including provisions for soldiers to cast their ballots from military positions in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria.
