What is a surplus vote agreement?
A surplus vote agreement allows two parties to combine their remaining votes when additional Knesset seats are allocated after the election.
The parties still run separately, and the agreement does not directly transfer votes from one party to the other.

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.

In welfare: raising old-age pensions for people on low incomes.
Crime and Personal Security
A national emergency plan against organized crime and eroding governability: a national cabinet led by the prime minister, empowering the police, and a focused fight against protection rackets, public corruption, and digital crime.
