Lo Nivcharot, Lo Bocharot

Lo Nivcharot, Lo Bocharot is a campaign in Israel, nicknamed LoNiLoBo, made up of ultra-Orthodox Jewish women. It was formed in response to Shas and United Torah Judaism, which are political parties which only run male candidates for office. Established in 2012, its name means "if we can’t be elected, we won’t vote".[1][2][3]
