*Regional Councils not included.
**Until 2008, the figures do not include the Israeli-Palestinian Councils. For instance, in 1998, 0.4% of the Israeli-Palestinians elected at the local level were women. So, the percentage of all Israeli women at the local Councils was actually 10.2% and not 14.9%, as reported. In other words, the percentage of women elected at the local level before 2008 are much lower. From 2008 on, Israeli-Palestinian women, elected at the local level, are included in the figures presented here.
