# Knesset 2026 · how far to 61

> A non-partisan, four-language (Russian, Hebrew, English, French) tracker of Israel's 2026 Knesset election (vote on 27 October 2026) and of the government's formation that follows. Numbers come from the Central Elections Committee (CEC); seats are allocated by the law's own method (3.25% threshold, Bader–Ofer, surplus agreements). The results are preliminary until the CEC's official publication. The grouping of parties into blocs is the site's dated editorial mapping. Nothing here is a forecast or a winner call.
