The Central Election Commission of Israel has announced that the final results of the upcoming parliamentary elections will be published on Thursday, October 29th, at 12:00 PM local time. This timeline is intended to allow for the complete processing of all ballots, including standard votes from polling stations and special envelopes. Election officials aim to finalize the tally of all submitted protocols by this date. Israeli law mandates that the commission has eight days from the close of voting to present official outcomes, with the certified data deadline set for Wednesday, November 4th. However, the commission's leadership has opted to expedite the verification process to provide a clear political landscape without delay. The general elections are scheduled for Tuesday, October 27th, with citizens electing 120 Knesset members. The majority of votes are typically processed overnight and the following morning. Delays often arise from the verification of ballots from specific groups, including IDF soldiers, diplomats abroad, hospital patients, and law enforcement officers. These "double envelope" votes require manual cross-referencing with voter lists to prevent duplicate voting and can be decisive for smaller parties aiming to cross the 3.25% electoral threshold. Following the October 29th results publication and the November 4th official confirmation, the data will be submitted to the President. The President will then consult with party leaders to task the candidate with the best chance of forming a coalition government. The Central Election Commission has established its central vote-counting headquarters at the Binyanei Ha'uma complex in Jerusalem and has completed staff training for continuous operations.
