Palestinian Authority Advances to Elections After 20 Years

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has approved the new general elections law, marking an important step toward resuming legislative elections that have been on hold for nearly 20 years due to the division between the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The law increases the number of Legislative Council members to 200, lowers the ballot threshold to 1%, and sets conditions related to women’s representation and reduces the candidacy age to 23. It also announced that the presidential elections will be held next year after the completion of the legislative elections. This move comes as part of efforts to revive the electoral process and achieve Palestinian political unity.
