WZO
Elections to the 37th World Zionist Congress
What Is the World Zionist Congress?
Once every four years, the World Zionist Congress meets in Jerusalem to make key funding and policy decisions that affect the future of Israel and Jews throughout the world. The 37th Zionist Congress will meet in October 2015. The Congress' 525 delegates from all over the world will include 145 delegates from the United States, elected from various competing slates.

When Is the Vote?
The vote takes place now! Voting started on January 14, 2015 and continues through April 30, 2105.

Who Can Vote?
Every Jew over age 18 is entitled to vote for the slate of his or her choice, in an election administered by the American Zionist Movement (AZM). To finance the election, the AZM charges a $5 fee for persons under age 30, and $10 for those over age 30. (In Herzl's time, the fee was one shekel.) For the price of a latte or two, you can help Jews around the world immensely.
