A total of 79.9% of Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers cast their ballots in the recent elections for the 26th Knesset, according to the IDF's press service. This turnout represents a 6.2 percentage point increase compared to the previous election. To facilitate voting, over 890 polling stations were established across military bases and units nationwide, enabling nearly four out of every five soldiers to exercise their right to vote. The votes cast by soldiers, placed in special double envelopes, are counted separately and have the potential to influence the final distribution of Knesset seats.
