Arab Parties Ra'am and Joint List Sign Vote-Sharing Pact
The Arab political parties Ra'am and the Joint List have signed a surplus vote agreement ahead of the upcoming elections. This pact commits both parties to conduct a fair and clean election campaign, explicitly vowing to avoid slander, incitement, or falsification.
Both Ra'am and the Joint List have also issued a joint call to their activists and supporters, urging them to maintain respectful discourse despite their political disagreements. The agreement is set to be submitted to the Central Elections Committee after the final approval of all candidate lists.
The surplus vote agreement allows parties that do not win enough votes to secure a seat on their own to pool their remaining votes with another party. This mechanism aims to maximize the representation of smaller parties and prevent votes from being wasted.
