Voters are set to go to the polls for a second round of voting today in 35 cities and towns across the country where none of the mayoral candidates managed to secure the 40 percent of ballots necessary to win last month’s municipal elections.

Polls will be open between 1 p.m. and 10 p.m. in locales including Haifa, Beit Shemesh, Ariel, Rehovot and Ramle.

The day will not be a national holiday, unlike the first round.
