Israel votes for a new Knesset

27 Oct 2026, 6:00 pm

Israel has held its legislative election. Israelis voted to elect the 120 members of the Knesset. The body being chosen is the Knesset. The size of that body in the election report is 120 members.

The reports of the day describe the vote itself. They identify the election as the 2026 Israeli legislative election. They state the number of seats being filled. They do not declare a winner.

No party total was part of the polling-day account used here. No turnout figure was part of that account. No coalition was announced in that account. The fact reported is that the election took place for the 120 seats.

The Knesset is the chamber named. Legislative is the type of election named. Israel is the country. The electors are described as Israelis voting.

A result that names a prime minister or a leading bloc is not in this account. This account stops at the holding of the vote. The seat number is 120. The action is the election of those members.

The recorded political event is election day. The office being filled is membership of the Knesset. The number of members is 120. No winner is stated in the report of the vote.
