An election for President of Israel was held in the Knesset on 22 March 1983 in which Chaim Herzog was elected the sixth president of the state of Israel.
Yitzhak Navon, elected in 1978, turned down the opportunity to run for a second term of office. Chaim Herzog was elected by the Knesset to serve as the sixth President of Israel, by a vote of 61 to 57. He was opposed by Menachem Elon, the candidate of the right and the government coalition. Herzog's term began on 5 May. He held office until 1993, when Ezer Weizman was elected president.
