The counting of the double envelopes in the Central Election Commission will probably only begin later, with the publication of a count of 100% of the regular ballot papers.

The Election Commission updated at noon that “the process of typing the details of the double envelopes began for the purpose of editing a special file that is compared with a file of the voter register, to check whether a double vote was taken. “Voting in a double envelope), the voice in the double envelope will be rejected”.

President Reuven Rivlin has decided to postpone consultations at the President’s House ahead of the imposition of the government train until after Pesach – Monday, April 5, close to the opening of the evidentiary phase of the Netanyahu trial.

The president wants to impose the government train on the one with the highest chances, and it can be assumed that the postponement after Pesach will require the representatives of the parties to reach the president in solidarity. Although he could have started consultations as early as Wednesday, with the official results, he decided to give the party leaders more time – and require them to answer all the scenarios – not only who the figure they recommend, but also with whom they would agree to sit and with whom not.

To prevent allegations against the president as heard in the past about conspiracies and conspiracies, the entire consultation process will be open to the media live and completely transparent. In fact, this will be the first time this year that the President’s House will be opened to journalists. The president must impose the government train on one of the candidates within seven days of receiving the results – that is, until April 7. The Knesset member who receives the mandate from the President will have 28 days to form the government.

The president can extend the period, at the request of the candidate, by an additional 14 days. If he does not announce that he has succeeded in forming a government, announces that he does not succeed or that the Knesset has rejected the government he has formed – the mandate returns to the President’s House. At this stage, the president has two options, which he must choose within three days: to impose the government train on another Knesset member who has agreed to accept the job of government train, or to inform the Knesset speaker that he does not see the possibility of forming a government.

If the president gives the mandate to another MK, the candidate will have 28 days to form a government, without extensions. In a situation where the president informs the speaker that he does not see a candidate who can form a government, or that the other candidate failed to form a government, the mandate passes to the Knesset. For 21 days, 61 Knesset members can ask the President in writing to assign the position to a Knesset member of their choice, provided he has agreed to it.

If such a request is indeed submitted, the President of the State must impose the formation of the Government on the same candidate, who will have at his disposal 14 days for the formation of the Government, without extensions. If no application is submitted by a majority of the Knesset members, or the same candidate has not been able to form a government – the Knesset will dissolve and Israel will go to a fifth election in less than two and a half years.
