On Wednesday, the Knesset will hold a secret ballot to elect the next state comptroller of Israel. The candidates are retired Supreme Court Justice Yosef Elron, regarded as the opposition's choice, and Michael Rabilo, who serves as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's attorney. The state comptroller plays a crucial role in overseeing the integrity and quality of public administration, with the authority to audit government ministries and publish reports. This election is significant as the comptroller is elected for a single seven-year term, and the current officeholder, Matanyahu Englman, will officially conclude his term on July 3. According to the State Comptroller Law, a candidate must secure the backing of a majority, specifically 61 members of the Knesset, to be elected. Should neither candidate achieve this majority, a second voting round will be necessary. In case of a tie, further rounds of voting and counting will be conducted until a definitive winner is established.
