I voted twice :-)

Shhhh, don't tell, but I voted twice. Did I trick the system? Nope!

Today, I exercised my right to vote for the first time as an Israeli citizen. It was for the municipal elections (which I only slightly care about) and I cast my vote for mayor for the man who seeks lower rent for Tel Aviv's residents (doubt that promise will happen). Also, voting here is a much simpler process than in the states. You get two envelopes, one for mayor and one for the party that you want to make up the city council. They are color coded and it's very difficult to make a mistake (unlike on the ballots in American elections).

So, last week I voted in the American election and my candidate emerged victorious and today I voted in my first Israeli election. It's good to be a dual-citizen:-)
