Complete Guide to Finding Your Polling Station for Israel's 2026 Elections

As Israel prepares for the 2026 elections, voters can quickly locate their designated polling stations by entering their ID number on the official website. Polling stations across the country will open at 7:00 AM and close at 10:00 PM on election day, June 23, 2026. In smaller communities with up to 350 residents, hospitals, and prisons, voting hours may be shorter, typically from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Voters who arrive before closing time but are still in line may cast their ballots even after 10:00 PM.

To vote, citizens must present a valid photo ID from an approved list. Generally, voters must vote at their registered polling station based on their address as recorded by the Ministry of Interior when the voter registry was compiled. Those who recently moved might need to vote at their previous address's polling station unless they updated their details in time. Exceptions allowing voting at different stations include soldiers, police officers, hospitalized individuals, prisoners, and people with mobility limitations, who can use accessible or special polling stations with a double-envelope system to prevent double voting.

Accessible polling stations are available for voters with mobility challenges, and no medical certificate is required, though a signed declaration at the polling station is necessary. Israelis abroad cannot vote in person. Election results and sample counts will be published after voting concludes. This guide aims to ensure all eligible voters know where and how to vote in the upcoming elections.
