    ​Elections in Israel are based on nationwide proportional representation. The Knesset is elected directly by the voters who vote for a party, The Knesset is elected for a four-year term, although most governments have not served a full term and early elections are a frequent occurrence. Israel has a multi-party system based on coalition governments as no party has ever won a majority of seats in a national election. 

    The upcoming elections will determine the composition of the 19th Knesset, Israel’s parliament. 34 parties will compete in the election.
