The Likud party has signed a surplus vote agreement with the Religious Zionism party and the Otzma party. This agreement allows the parties to pool their excess votes in an election, potentially increasing their combined seat count in the Knesset. The details of the agreement were not immediately released, but such pacts are common in Israeli politics to maximize representation.
Surplus vote agreements are designed to prevent votes from being wasted. If a party receives more votes than are needed to secure its last allocated seat, the surplus votes can be transferred to a partner party in the agreement. This mechanism is particularly important for smaller parties or those running in close electoral races.
