- The portal will display real-time vote counts directly from the Central Elections Committee.

On election night, the JDN news portal, "HaBrohmetro" (The Barometer), will consolidate exit poll data from five major Israeli news channels into a single display. This will allow viewers to compare projections from Kan 11, Channel 12, Channel 13, Channel 14, and i24news as soon as they are released, highlighting agreements and discrepancies between the forecasts. The portal will also present its own weighted poll, calculated based on the accuracy of each channel's past election predictions.
As vote counting progresses, "HaBrohmetro" will automatically receive and display real-time results directly from the Central Elections Committee. The data will be presented for nine major parties, divided into blocs, with clear graphics and a map illustrating vote counts by region across Israel. This aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the unfolding election results throughout the night.
A key feature will be the portal's model for estimating final seat allocation. This projection will activate once half a million votes (10% of the total) have been counted, offering an estimate of each list's final mandate count. This estimate will be presented alongside the real-time results, differentiating between counted votes and future projections, and will be updated as more data becomes available. The official results will be those published by the Central Elections Committee.
In addition to election-specific data, "HaBrohmetro" will also feature breaking news and headlines from JDN, allowing users to follow political developments and news updates without switching screens. The coverage begins Tuesday at 10:00 PM with the release of the exit polls.
