📯It’s official! The national elections are scheduled to take place on Tuesday, October 27, 2026 (ט"ז חשוון).

This milestone marks a rare moment of political stability: it will be the first time in 38 years (since 1988) that an Israeli election is being held on its originally scheduled date, and the current government will be the first to complete a full, uninterrupted term in 53 years (since 1973, the 11th Knesset) .

As the political arena shifts into high gear, here is the official timeline and what to expect between now and election day. Make sure to save the date and stay informed!
