Voter registration begins for 2026 elections
The Palestinian Central Election Commission has launched the on-the-ground voter registration phase across the West Bank governorates as part of preparations for the 2026 legislative elections. The registration period will continue until August 19th, at 467 centers located throughout cities and camps. Non-registered individuals are encouraged to register either electronically or at these centers. The Commission clarified that residents of Jerusalem participating in the "Jerusalem Identity" campaign are not required to register. Additionally, residents of Gaza—including those living in the West Bank—can register by providing proof of residence; however, currently, Gaza residents living in the West Bank are not required to register. The Commission also urged previously registered individuals holding foreign passports to update their information before the registration period ends. It was also noted that prisoners can register through their representatives. The Commission emphasized the importance of broad participation and the need for accessible registration centers to ensure the exercise of democratic rights. It reaffirmed its neutrality and transparency in managing the electoral process. So far, the number of registered voters has surpassed 1.6 million, representing 86.5% of those eligible, with expectations of this percentage increasing.
