Municipal elections were held in Israel on October 30, 2018. A run-off was held on November 13 in localities where a candidate for mayor received at least 40% of the vote.[1]
For the first time, the four local councils in Druze localities in the Golan Heights were up for election.[2][3] Elections were held in all 54 regional councils, 122 out of 124 local councils, and 75 out of 77 cities. The cities of Baqa al-Gharbiyye and Tayibe, as well as the local council of Jatt, did not hold elections, as elections were held there in 2015. In Tel Mond, a local council, a split commission is currently serving. Further, RC Rekhasim,[4]LC Ghajar,[5] and 3 more places only had one list be submitted for the council elections, and was automatically elected by a walkover, without any ballots cast. In all except Kfar Shmaryahu, where three candidates had been nominated, the mayoral election was also decided by walkover.
In these elections, the then-longest-serving mayors in Israel, Shlomo Bohbot of Ma'alot-Tarshiha and Ephraim Deri of Kfar Yona, who had served for nine terms consecutively,[6] were defeated in their re-election bids.
