Even the veteran and experienced election officials in Israel do not remember a system with such low levels of involvement and interest. This time, it seems, the drama is that there is no drama.

When there is a war on the front that the people of Israel are licking their wounds every day, the local elections pale. This is exactly the anomaly: the elections that deal with the things that most affect our lives and the lives of our children. In elections where our ability to influence is greater than in the general elections, our indifference to them is higher than ever.
