The Central Elections Committee anticipates that by tomorrow afternoon, the majority of regular votes and the "double envelope" votes will be counted. These special ballots include votes from soldiers, police officers, hospitalized individuals, prisoners, and evacuees. The completion of this count is expected to provide a nearly final distribution of Knesset seats and determine the fate of parties close to the electoral threshold. Israeli law allows the Elections Committee up to eight days after election day to finalize protocol checks, address discrepancies, and officially publish the results. Following the official announcement, the focus will shift to the President's Residence for consultations with faction representatives regarding the formation of the next government. The 26th Knesset is scheduled to convene and be sworn in on Tuesday, November 10, 2026.
