The research “Continuity or Change? Analyzing the Arab Local Authorities Elections of 2024” was conducted by INJAZ – Center For Professional Arab Local Governance. Released in April 2024, two months after the elections, the report provides a comprehensive analysis of the 2023 Arab Local Authorities Elections. Key findings include the increase in the number of seats in local elected bodies, the gradual decrease in the number of candidates within Arab communities, and the implications of incumbent heads of authorities running for re-election. The report also examines voter turnout, the role of political parties, and the representation of women in local government. Additionally, it delves into the dynamics of mixed cities and the influence of clan affiliations. The report concludes with insights on the National Committee for Arab Local Authorities and its potential role in addressing tensions and promoting collaboration within Arab communities.
Additionally, you can see the key data points from the research in the presentation prepared by Dr. Muhammed Khalaily, Director of Qadaya, and Imad Jaraisy, CEO of Injaz.
