HaGaon HaRav Aaron Yehuda Leib Shteinman Shlita opened the winter zman with a schmooze in his yeshiva, Orchos Torah in Bnei Brak. Among the points made by the rosh yeshiva is that talmidim should not waste time discussing the upcoming municipal elections but to immerse themselves in their limud Torah.

The gadol hador added that for some, they may be called upon to assist in the elections and for those capable of doing so without compromising their limud, it is permitted.
