Local elections begin in Deir al-Balah, Gaza, Palestine, according to the Palestinian Central Elections Commission, on April 25, 2026. The commission said in a statement that about 1.03 million voters are eligible to vote through 491 polling centers that include 1,922 voting stations. This also marks the first time in 22 years that municipal elections are taking place in Deir al-Balah, relatively one of the least damaged cities in the enclave during Israel's two-year genocidal war.
