WZO Elections

Between 8 and 12 June 2025, British Jews will vote for their delegates to the 39th World Zionist Congress, the “parliament of the Jewish people,” which will convene in Jerusalem in October 2025.

 

Voting in the election is the most powerful opportunity to have your voice heard in Israel, make an impact in Jewish communities worldwide, and stand up for Zionism. The 19 UK delegates, who will be elected, will make key decisions on allocating over $1 billion annually to support the most pressing needs across Israeli society and the Diaspora. 


​

From the COVID-19 pandemic to Israel’s ongoing multifront war, the five years since the previous World Zionist Congress election in 2020 have seen no shortage of seismic crises. This strongly positions the 2025 election to serve as an uplifting and unifying force for diverse voices and constituencies across the Jewish community, all in support of the vibrancy of Zionism. That is why there are no “winners” and “losers” in this election — participation is a victory in and of itself.”

​

The details of how voting will take place are determined by the Area Election Committee convened for the purpose of overseeing the WZO elections. Please come back here regularly to learn more.
