Residents of the Perach Community Village for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in central Rosh Ha’ayin have been practicing for this week’s national election at an accessible on-site voting station.

About half of the village’s 208 residents aged 21 and above have been learning about the right to vote and the political system and parties.

According to Yafit Bargig, who directs the 110-dunam (27-acre) closed campus, 25 to 30 residents will be able to choose a party independently on Tuesday and carry out the necessary physical tasks.
