Best Answer

only the Citizens, at least 18 years old may vote.

(That includes Jewish men and women who are citizens, Muslim men and women

who are citizens, Christian men and women who are citizens, Druze men and

women who are citizens, Arab/Palestinian men and women who are citizens.

But the law is very restrictive ... they have to be 18 years old.)

Responsibilities and privileges in Israel are defined in accordance with citizenship, not by religion.

Arabs ... Muslim, Christian, and Druze ... comprise a significant fraction of the country's citizenry.

As citizens, they have the vote. I don't have numbers available at the moment, but the numbers

must certainly be significant, since there are all-Arab towns in Israel's north, Muslim Arabs have

stood for office in the nation's general elections, and have been elected to the Knesset (parliament)

to represent their Muslim Arab constituents.

While we're on the subject, it must also be mentioned that Palestinian Arabs ... who are not even

citizens of Israel ... have brought suit in Israeli courts against the Israeli government's planned

route for the security fence/wall, asking that the route be changed to prevent their loss of access

to their family land and crops.

And have won their case !

I know that a supervisor is going to come along and delete this last remark, but I just have to

put it here for as long as it survives. The remark is:

Let's see a Jew try something like that in a Palestinian court !

Israel is a representative democracy. It's government is structured much like the

governments of Canada and the UK, for example. The members of its parliament

and other local and national government officials are elected by popular vote.

All of Israel's adult citizens have the right to vote. That includes Jewish citizens,

Muslim citizens, Christian citizens, Palestinian citizens, Druze citizens, citizens of

any other religion, citizens with no religion, women citizens and men citizens.

There is no king. There have been several changes of government following

national elections, and there has been no revolution, military takeover, or mass

uprising of the people against the government since the modern state of Israel

was founded in 1948.

In each of these respects, Israel is politically quite unlike any other nearby

country in the region.
