Vote today in the World Zionist Congress Election
The World Zionist Organization (WZO) elections determine the composition of the World Zionist Congress, which convenes every five years to set policies and allocate funding for global Jewish initiatives.
In the United States, elections are now open through May 4 to select 152 delegates representing American Jewry at the Congress, to be held October 28-30 in Jerusalem. These delegates and others from around the world will influence decisions on leadership and the distribution of substantial funds, impacting various Jewish institutions and projects.
Voting is open to all Jewish adults residing in the United States who accept Zionist principles and pay a $5 registration fee. Twenty-one slates, representing diverse Jewish ideological perspectives—from religious denominations to political affiliations—are competing in this election. The Vote Reform Party represents Reform Jews.
Your voice matters in bringing more support for Reform Jewish communities in Israel.
