Paragraph 1    Six lists for municipal elections in Jerusalem. Each list presents a list of people who were up for election to create a municpal committee to arrange the regulations of choosing the 23 members of the municpal council.

On the shorter lists, it is indicated that one person will be chosen from that list, and on the longer lists, six will be chosen.

The lists are labelled according to their local constitutencies: one is called a general list, one is the list of the Kollel Zhitomir, list of the Kollel Bakovina,list of Kollel Karlin, list of the Kollel Oestreich Galician, and list of Kollel Chabad.
          
Detailed
Description		    A municipal council was started in 1877. This lasted until the British took over control of Palestine. One of the first acts of the British administration was to appoint a new municipal council consisting of two Moslems, one of whom acted as mayor, two Christians, and two Jews, one of whom, Yizhak Eliachar, was deputy mayor. In 1924 a new council, with three members from each community, was appointed. In 1924 the municipal council was elected for the first time—with four members from each community. In 1934, under the Municipal Councils Ordinance of that year, the city was divided into twelve constituencies, each electing one councillor. Six of the constituencies were Arab and six Jewish, although 75% of the taxpayers were Jews. The government always appointed a Muslim as mayor, despite the Jewish majority, on grounds of precedent, with one Christian Arab and one Jewish deputy.
