President Reuven Rivlin and his wife Nechama have cast their ballots at the Yefe Nof school in Jerusalem.
Right after voting, the president called on all Israelis to exercise their right and vote in today's municipal elections. He explained, “This vote is no less important than the elections to the Knesset, where Israeli policy is set and our positions on security and economy and other issues are decided. Here we decide what happens around our own homes, whether there is transport, clean streets, urban development in our towns, kindergartens for our children and grandchildren, planning and building."
