Elections for the twenty-first Knesset must be held by 5 November 2019; they could happen before that date if the government chooses to hold early elections.[1]

Electoral system

The 120 seats in the Knesset are elected by proportional representation in a single nationwide constituency. The electoral threshold for the election is 3.25%. In almost all cases, this is equivalent to a minimum party size of four seats, but on rare occasions a party can end up with three.[2]

Primary elections

The Likud, Labor and Jewish Home parties have systems in which the leadership and most candidates are elected in inner-party primary elections.
