Yisrael Beiteinu and Bayit Yehudi Agree on Surplus Vote Pact
The Yisrael Beiteinu party, led by Avigdor Lieberman, and the Bayit Yehudi list, headed by Naftali Bennett, have reached an agreement to sign a surplus vote pact ahead of the upcoming elections. This pact allows parties to pool their excess votes, increasing their chances of winning additional Knesset seats.
The agreement aims to maximize the electoral strength of both parties by ensuring that votes cast for either Yisrael Beiteinu or Bayit Yehudi that exceed the threshold for a single seat are not wasted. Instead, these surplus votes will be counted towards the combined total of the two parties, potentially securing more seats than they might achieve individually.
