Poll standing
How is a party's poll standing determined?
This status is calculated automatically from the latest polls shown on this site — one per outlet we track. We check how many of them report the party crossing the electoral threshold (rather than assuming this from the seat count alone), and also show the range and average of its projected seats in those same polls. Polls reflect a snapshot at the time they were published and are not a forecast of the election result.

What is the electoral threshold?
The electoral threshold is the minimum share of the vote a list needs in order to take part in the allocation of Knesset seats. In Knesset elections the threshold is 3.25% of valid votes. A list that does not pass the threshold does not take part in the seat allocation.
