How to vote

✶ History · 1949–2026

Twenty-six
Knessets.

Israel has elected its parliament the same way since the first vote in January 1949: one national constituency, closed lists, proportional seats. What changed is who wins them — from Mapai's decades, through the 1977 reversal, to a parliament of many mid-sized lists — and how often voters were called back.

The deadlock
years.

  1. 9 April 2019 · 21st Knesset

    Netanyahu was recommended by lists holding 65 seats and tasked with forming a government, but did not secure a majority; at the end of May 2019 the Knesset voted 74 to 45 to dissolve itself.

  2. 17 September 2019 · 22nd Knesset

    Netanyahu and then Benny Gantz were each tasked with forming a government and neither succeeded; the Knesset dissolved in December 2019.

  3. 2 March 2020 · 23rd Knesset

    Gantz was tasked first; Likud and Blue and White then agreed a rotation government, sworn in on 17 May 2020 with Netanyahu as prime minister and Gantz as alternate prime minister. It fell when the Knesset dissolved on 23 December 2020 without a budget.

  4. 23 March 2021 · 24th Knesset

    Netanyahu's mandate expired; Yair Lapid formed a government sworn in on 13 June 2021 with Naftali Bennett as prime minister, Lapid as alternate, and Ra'am as the first independent Arab party in a governing coalition. After it lost its majority, the Knesset dissolved itself on 30 June 2022 and Lapid became prime minister on 1 July 2022.

  5. 1 November 2022 · 25th Knesset

    Netanyahu formed his sixth government, the 37th government of Israel, sworn in on 29 December 2022.

Bars: lists that recommended Netanyahu, other Jewish-majority lists, and Arab-led lists, as each round's recommendations fell (Wikipedia). The line marks 61. In 2026 the outgoing coalition holds 53, the parties recommending Eisenkot 48 and the Arab-led lists 19.

Rule changes

How the rules
moved.

  1. 25 January 1949 Constituent Assembly election: no statutory threshold, D'Hondt-type allocation

    Lists below 1/121 of valid votes (about 0.83%) were excluded from the remaining seats; seats were allocated by the highest-averages method. Surplus-vote agreements between pairs of lists were permitted.

  2. 1951 1% threshold and largest-remainder allocation

    The Second Knesset Elections Law set an explicit 1% threshold and replaced highest averages with the largest-remainder method for leftover seats.

  3. 20 February 1958 Basic Law: The Knesset

    Passed on 12 February 1958 (published 20 February), the first Basic Law: 120 members, a four-year term, general, national, direct, equal, secret and proportional elections.

  4. 4 April 1973 Bader–Ofer method

    Knesset Elections Law (Amendment No. 4), passed 4 April 1973: leftover seats go by highest averages (equivalent to D'Hondt), with surplus-vote agreements pooling two lists' votes for that step. First used in December 1973.

  5. 1992 Threshold raised to 1.5%

    The threshold rose from 1% to 1.5%, in force from the 1992 election.

  6. 14 April 1992 Direct election of the prime minister

    Basic Law: The Government (1992), passed 18 March 1992 and published 14 April 1992, introduced a separate direct vote for prime minister; used in 1996, 1999 and the special prime-ministerial election of 6 February 2001. In force from 18 June 1996.

  7. 18 March 2001 Direct election repealed; constructive no-confidence

    Basic Law: The Government (2001), passed 7 March 2001 and published 18 March 2001, returned to a prime minister who needs the Knesset's confidence; a no-confidence motion must name an alternative candidate for prime minister. In force from 28 February 2003.

  8. 2004-05 Threshold raised to 2%

    An amendment to the Knesset Elections Law passed in May 2004 raised the threshold to 2%.

  9. 11 March 2014 Threshold raised to 3.25%; stricter constructive no-confidence

    The 2014 governance laws raised the threshold to 3.25% and required a no-confidence motion to present an alternative government (not only a candidate), which takes office if the Knesset expresses confidence in it.
