What happens next?
Most polling stations are scheduled to close at 22:00 Israel time, 16:00 Eastern and 21:00 in Vienna. Voters already queuing may still be served.
Exit polls estimate seats. Official partial results count ballots. Neither is a certified final result.
Parties negotiate support in the 120-seat Knesset. Winning the most seats does not automatically form a government.
Sources and update policy
The participation chart is a dated editorial snapshot based on the linked reports. No verified production feed for official vote counts is connected. The official results page displayed test data during verification; those figures are excluded. The refresh button checks for published editorial updates, not new official ballots. The latest checkpoint remains visible until a verified revision is published.
Party vote totals are not converted into predicted seats. We do not name a winner from a partial lead. Polling-station closing guidance · AP government-formation explainer
