The election will shape whether Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu can lead another government or whether the governing majority changes.<\/p>\n<p>According to Reuters, polling stations open at 7:00 a.m. and close at 10:00 p.m. local time. The first television exit polls are expected after voting ends. Final counting is expected by 30 October, with official results due to be published on 4 November.<\/p>\n<p>The Knesset has 120 seats allocated under a proportional system. Parties must win at least 3.25% of the vote to enter parliament. Because no single party usually secures a majority, smaller parties can play a decisive role in coalition negotiations.<\/p>\n<p>After the results, President Isaac Herzog will consult the parties and task the politician most likely to command support with forming a cabinet. The first nominee has up to 42 days to form a government. As of early 27 October, no election winner has been announced.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/middle-east\/israel-election-what-happens-after-polls-close-2026-10-27\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reuters, 27 October 2026<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Illustrative photograph: engin akyurt \/ Unsplash (Unsplash License).
