According to the final data, the turnout in the election was 67.4%. Out of 6,578,084 eligible voters, 4,435,805 Israelis voted. 26,239 of the votes were rejected (including white ballots), and the number of valid votes was 4,409,566. To pass the blocking percentage required 143,311 votes, and 13 lists received more than that. The number of votes cast for lists that did not pass the blocking percentage was relatively low this time – 66,107.

The main struggle in recent hours has been around the question of whether Meretz will receive the sixth seat and introduce Musi Raz into the Knesset, or whether the Labor Party will receive eight seats and introduce Nachman Shai into the Knesset. In the end, only 848 votes separated Nachman Shai from Musi Raz’s chair, and he will not be a member of the next Knesset.

24.44% of the voters in the double envelopes gave their vote to the Likud, 13.76% to Yesh Atid and Yemina came in third with 9.41%. Labor also won a higher turnout than voting at the regular polls with 8.13%, as did Yisrael Beiteinu with 6.52% and religious Zionism with 6.43%.

6.3% of the voters in the double envelopes gave their vote to blue and white, 5.68% to Shas – less than the rate of support at the regular polls, New Hope with 5.24% and Meretz 4.84%. % And VAT with 1.57% did not “pass the blocking percentage” in the double envelopes. The new economy finished with 0.92%.

After calculating the surpluses, the seats were divided as follows: the 113th seat for Torah Judaism, the 114th for Atid, the 115th for new hope, the 116th for Meretz, the 117th for Yisrael Beiteinu, the 118th for the Likud, the 119th for the joint and the 120th Shas.

The Election Commission said that the results of the elections to the 24th Knesset were published after “many careful examination and control procedures that it has carried out and continues to carry out and the committee. However, these are not the official results, and the official results will be published next Wednesday.”

They noted that over the next few days, until the official results are published, the committee will continue to conduct a series of further tests on a number of levels. The committee mentioned the “election purity procedure” operation – according to the committee, 500 polling stations selected according to various parameters have been examined so far, and hundreds of additional polling stations are expected to be inspected for the first time in parallel with the vote counting operation. As part of this procedure, complaints received on election day and in recent days from the public about attempts to harm the purity of the election are also examined, including reports from the police and reports from the patrol of election purity inspectors. In this framework, hundreds of applications have already been examined.

In addition, the committee said that inquiries are being examined on behalf of the lists of the various candidates, and controls on the results continue to be carried out – including a test to detect typing errors, statistical tests and anomaly tests. The Committee stressed that all such tests may have implications for the final results, and therefore the results published here are still subject to changes and adjustments.

The CEO of the Election Commission, Adv. Orly Adas, said after the results were published that “we faced special challenges, but we managed to meet the deadline and even get ahead of it a little. The results went through the whole very careful and meticulous test we conducted here in recent days. The most correct and accurate results as intended by the electorate in the State of Israel. “

She said, “There is no doubt that this system was one of the most challenging the State of Israel has ever known. Beyond the fact that this is the fourth election campaign in the last two and a half years, we have experienced a huge challenge here in light of the Corona epidemic. Every day we opened our eyes.” The public who took part in this campaign expressed their confidence in the election results and allowed us all to maintain the democracy that is so dear to us, and to call on the voters to refrain from any dissemination of information that is not based on the results. ”

Meanwhile, Labor Party Chairman Merav Michaeli and Yesh Atid Chairman Yair Lapid met tonight and discussed possible collaborations to form a coalition for change and change Netanyahu’s rule. The two agreed to continue contacts and hold further talks later.

Prior to Lieberman’s tweet, new Tikva chairman Gideon Saar also referred to the apparent results, saying that “it is clear that Netanyahu does not have a majority to form a government under his leadership. Action must now be taken to realize the possibility of forming a change government. As I announced on election night, ego will not be a consideration. “His party member Yoaz Handel responded to pressure from Netanyahu and wrote that” a text message campaign in the middle of the Passover cleaning does not affect anything. “According to Handel,” Now, the results are only possible to form a change government. Leave the phone and go clean. ”

In the last day, Lieberman and Saar have already begun leading first moves in the new Knesset, in which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not have a majority. Among other things, the intention is to hold a vote to replace the Speaker of the Knesset, and then to promote such legislation that will prevent a criminal defendant from having the ability to form a government.

By the way, even before Lieberman’s tweet, the Likud attacked and said that “a change bloc is a laundered term for an anti-democratic bloc. The only change they really want to bring is laws that exist only in Iran to filter candidates and cancel the democratic election of over one million citizens in Israel.”

The Netanyahu bloc is now trying to put pressure on right-wingers in the bloc of change, so that they do not sit in government with Meretz and Labor. A member of Handel’s party responded to these pressures: “A text message campaign in the middle of the Passover cleaning does not affect anything.” According to Handel, “Now, the results of the truth, there is only a possibility to form a change government. Leave the phone and go clean.”
