Lawmakers set new date for Hof Ashkelon mayoral race delayed by rockets

The Knesset Internal Affairs Committee sets a date for the local election run-off in the Hof Ashkelon Regional Council, which will take place next Tuesday, November 20.

Hof Ashkelon was one of 54 municipalities that was slated to hold a mayoral run-off on November 13 after none of the candidates passed the 40-percent threshold in the nationwide local elections on October 30. But the Hof Ashkelon run-off was delayed because of the rocket barrage from Gaza that shuttered area schools, businesses and government offices on Monday and Tuesday.

Next Tuesday’s race is between the two frontrunners, Itamar Revivo and Dudi Saada.
