Israel's Election Law Means Many Votes Will Not Count
Summarized from Haaretz English by baba
Center-leftNeutral tone
Israel's upcoming election will feature 38 parties competing for votes, but only 11 to 13 are projected to win seats in the Knesset. This is due to the country's electoral threshold law, which requires parties to achieve a minimum vote share to gain representation. Votes for parties falling below this threshold will not be counted towards parliamentary representation.
