Israel Votes by the Numbers
Understanding the Mathematics of Israeli Democracy
Israel's parliamentary elections involve millions of voters and thousands of polling stations. Election-specific figures must be verified against the official Central Elections Committee for the Knesset.
Eligible Voters
The figure of 7,331,981 eligible voters is not verified for an election on October 27, 2026 and should not be published as fact.
Polling Stations
The figure of 12,018 polling stations is not verified for an election on October 27, 2026 and should not be published as fact.
120 — Knesset Seats
Israel's parliament consists of 120 elected members.
3.25% — Electoral Threshold
Under Israel's current electoral system, a party list must receive at least 3.25% of the valid votes to qualify for parliamentary representation. This threshold should still be checked against the law in force for the relevant election.
61 — Parliamentary Majority
Sixty-one seats constitute a majority in the 120-seat Knesset.
Israel uses nationwide proportional representation. Citizens vote for party lists rather than directly electing a prime minister.
Turnout, valid votes, invalid votes, eligible voters, polling stations, and seat distribution should be inserted only after publication by the Central Elections Committee or another authoritative source.
The previously stated figure of 44.9% turnout by 2:00 p.m. is unverified and must not be presented as fact.
