Analysis of the 2022 Israeli election results reveals that the city of Rehovot most accurately mirrored the national outcome. In Rehovot, the Likud party garnered 26% of the vote, slightly higher than its national 23% share, while Yesh Atid secured 23%, compared to 18% nationwide. Other parties like Religious Zionism and the National Unity party also showed similar proportional support in Rehovot as they did nationally. Arab parties, however, received minimal support in Rehovot, a significant deviation from the national trend.
Following Rehovot, Petah Tikva also closely reflected the national results, with other cities like Hadera, Netanya, and Holon showing similar patterns. The data highlights specific localities and neighborhoods that strongly favored particular parties. For instance, the community of Gadish in the Jezreel Valley was the most 'Likud-leaning,' with 74% of its residents voting for the party. In the ultra-Orthodox sector, Komemiyut, near Kiryat Gat, saw 93.7% of its residents vote for United Torah Judaism, while Modi'in Illit led with 77.5% of its voters choosing the party.
Yesh Atid found its strongest support in Kibbutz Mechman, with 55.3% of residents voting for the party, and Ramat HaSharon led among larger cities with 42.2%. Shas's strongest showing was in Elad, with 49.6% of the vote, and in Be'er Sheva, where 61.3% of residents in the Nat'im neighborhood voted for the party. The analysis also points to neighborhoods with the lowest voter turnout, including the ultra-Orthodox neighborhood of Mea Shearim in Jerusalem with only 23.2% turnout, and areas in Eilat and Netanya's hotel strip with low participation.
