Elected Mayor

TBD

The 2024 Tel Aviv mayoral election is expected to be held on January 30, 2024. Originally scheduled for October 31, 2023, the elections were delayed due to the 2023 Israel–Hamas war to elect the mayor of Tel Aviv.[1] The election will be part of the 2023 Israeli municipal elections. Campaign issues include the increasing cost of living,[2] the local real estate market and high housing costs,[3] frequent traffic jams,[4][5] the construction and delayed opening of the Tel Aviv Light Rail,[6] and public transportation on Shabbat.[7][8]
