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.

How many votes are needed for one seat?
There is no fixed number of votes per seat. The number of votes needed changes in every election, depending on the number of valid votes and on which parties pass the electoral threshold. The final allocation of seats is made using the Bader–Ofer method.

Reported positions and statements
No official, detailed platform has been published yet — direct, dated quotes are shown below until a full platform exists.
“United Torah Judaism opposes a comprehensive conscription law and seeks to legally regulate the status of Torah scholars. Per the position it conveyed to Ynet, regarding those who aren't studying, the party does not see itself as the one that should instruct them to enlist — it views that as the army's responsibility.”
