The Israeli Central Elections Committee (Hebrew: ועדת הבחירות המרכזית, Va'adet HaBehirot HaMerkazit) is the body charged under the Knesset Elections Law of 1969 to carry out the elections for the upcoming Knesset. The committee is composed of Knesset members (and delegates) representing various parliamentary groups and is chaired by a Supreme Court Justice (currently Noam Sohlberg). Tasks for the committee include the authorization of party lists running for the Knesset, election financing, and publication and appeals of election results.^[1]
