How a government gets formed

  1. The Central Elections Committee published the official results on 4 November.
  2. The President consults the lists that won seats. Each can recommend a member to form the government.
  3. By 11 November the President tasks one member with forming a government. They have 28 days, and the President can add up to 14 more.
  4. If they cannot, the President tasks a second member for 28 days, or tells the Speaker he sees no way. A majority of members can then ask in writing for a member of their choice, who gets 14 days.
  5. A government takes office when the Knesset votes confidence in it, with more for than against. If every attempt fails, the Knesset dissolves and a new election is held.

From Basic Law: The Government. The dates run from the official results, published on 4 November.

Seat counts are the Central Elections Committee's official results. Warnings appear here when two lists you have stacked have publicly ruled each other out. Nothing here is a prediction or an endorsement. Full results →
