The 2020 Yisraeli general election will be held on January 27, 2020. It will feature elections for President and the full Knesset, as well as some District gubernatorial and legislative seats and a litany of local municipal offices. This election will be the first to feature a three-party contest for the presidency, and the potentially the first in decades to realign the Right-Left bloc ideological alignment of the Knesset.


Background

Electoral system

The presidential election is determined by an electoral college in which the plurality majority vote winner in each district wins that jurisdiction's electoral votes, with a majority of 97 EVs needed to secure a majority of the 192-vote College.

The Knesset and other elections are plurality majority direct elections in single-member districts using a first-past-the-post electoral system.

Voting eligibility

To be eligible to vote in the election, one must be:

  • registered to vote with the Royal Yisraeli Election Commission;
  • aged 21 years old by the registration deadline of September 27, 2019;
  • a Yisraeli citizen; and
  • not excluded from voting (whether by legal incompetency, found guilty of or convicted of a felony, etc.) or not disqualified from voting.

Timetable

June 27, 2019 Royal Yisraeli Election Commission staff prepares balloting and election machines for upcoming elections.
September 2, 2019 Major parties (traditionally the Conservatives and Constitutional Liberals) hold their presidential nomination conventions. Unofficial kickoff of the general election season.
September 27, 2019 Last day to register to vote.
November 27, 2019 Last day for independents and new parties to file to run for office on the ballot.
January 27, 2020 Election Day: National polls open at 6am and close at 7pm.
January 28, 2020 Election results verified and released publicly.
February 3, 2020 The President-elect and Members-elect of Knesset and local offices are sworn in.

Coalitions and parties

At the presidential level, three coalitions are contesting the office: The Right Bloc (Conservatives, cross-endorsed by the Northern League and Torah Achdus), the United Center Bloc (the Alternative for Yisrael cross-endorsed by Action Yisrael), and the Left Bloc (the Constitutional Liberals cross-endorsed by the Alliance of Greens, Seculars, and Workers).

At the Knesset and conditionally at the District and local levels, the Bloc members each, to some degree, have election pacts to not run candidates against the others or at least non-aggression/no-negative advertising/cease-fire pacts in districts where their candidates are both contesting an office.
