Palestinian voters cast their vote in the first phase of local elections in village of Hawara in the northern West Bank, on December 12, 2021. Polls opened this morning for the first phase of local elections at 154 Palestinian localities, all in the West Bank, after attempts to hold elections in 11 Gaza Strip localities have failed and therefore delayed until the second phase scheduled for March 26, today said Hanna Nasir, chairman of the Palestinian Central Elections Commission (CEC).
