An analysis by Madlan of the 2022 Knesset elections, released ahead of the October 27, 2026 elections, reveals voting patterns across 1,044 urban neighborhoods in Israel. The study focused on areas with predominantly Jewish populations, excluding smaller settlements.

The Likud party emerged as the leading party in 552 neighborhoods, while Yair Lapid's Yesh Atid party secured first place in 355. Likud saw its highest support in the Shazar neighborhood of Or Akiva, with 58.5% of the vote. Yesh Atid's strongest showing was in Neve Gan-Kiryat Shaul in Ramat HaSharon, where it garnered 51.5% of the vote, with ten of its top-performing neighborhoods located in northern Tel Aviv.

The far-left Meretz party achieved its highest support in Ma'oz Aviv Alef in Tel Aviv (21.16%) and won outright in only one neighborhood, Ein Kerem in Jerusalem (21.13%). The Religious Zionism and Otzma Yehudit joint list, led by Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir, received 49.8% of the vote in Mizpe Nevo in Ma'ale Adumim. Ultra-Orthodox parties also showed strong regional support, with United Torah Judaism leading in 64 neighborhoods, achieving 84.4% in Kiryat Vizhnitz, Bnei Brak. Shas's highest result was 61.3% in Netivot.

Benny Gantz's National Unity party won in only one studied neighborhood, Alwansa in Daliyat al-Karmel, with 51.8% of the vote. The analysis also highlighted significant variations in voter turnout. The highest turnout was predominantly in religious neighborhoods, with 88.1% in Ashdod's Zain (Gimmel) neighborhood. Conversely, the ultra-Orthodox neighborhood of Mea Shearim in Jerusalem had the lowest turnout at 23.2%. Researchers noted minimal turnout in Savachra in East Jerusalem, where many residents lack Israeli citizenship.
