Election in Israel

Elections to the 17th Knesset will be held on March 28, 2006. Each voter will cast a ballot for one of 31 political parties to represent him in the Knesset.


Every Israeli citizen aged 18 or older has the right to vote. The polls throughout the country will close at 22:00.
Acting PM Olmert: „I call on all Israeli citizens to realize their right to participate in the elections and to vote. There is no more appropriate and significant expression of civil rights than of voting and thus determining the fate of the country and the composition of its government.”
