Israelis are expected to turn out en masse to vote in Tuesday’s national election, with five election cycles in just over three and a half years.

Israel continues to maintain a relatively high voter turnout and is on par with other Western democracies, falling somewhere between the United States (66.8 percent in 2020) and France (74 percent in 2022).
