High Court overturns disqualification of a Haifa mayoral candidate

The High Court of Justice overturns the disqualification of a Haifa mayoral candidate in the October 30 local elections, while knocking a candidate from the central ultra-Orthodox city of Elad out of the running.

Einat Kalisch Rotem had been barred from running by the Interior Ministry and the Haifa District Court last week, after her Labor party attorney submitted two candidates, including Kalisch Rotem, to the race, in violation of the election rules. The High Court on Monday evening overturned the lower court’s decision.
