The 2012 Meretz leadership election was held on 7 February 2012[1] in which party convention delegates elected Zehava Galon as the party's leader.
Unlike the previous two Meretz party leadership elections,[4] [5] [6] the 2012 election was not open to the party's general membership. Instead, its electorate was limited to delegates at the party's convention. 835 of the convention's 954 delegates ultimately participated in the election, making for a turnout of 87.53%.[1]
