Who to vote for 2026

A free policy quiz for the elections to the 26th Knesset, with no sign-up. Answer up to 35 questions on the issues in dispute and get all 22 lists ranked by how closely they match your views, with a breakdown of where you agree with each one and where you don’t.

From what each list’s candidates have done and said: Knesset votes, decisions they made in government posts, platforms and public statements. The positions are an estimate, not an official statement by the parties. Where there is little to go on, the results flag the position as a “Thin record”.

On each question, the list’s position is compared with your answer: the same position scores in full, a close one scores in part, and a distant one scores nothing. The match is the average over all the questions, each counted by its weight and by the importance you gave it and its topic. 50% is the balance point: above it, you agree with the list more than you disagree.

Your answers stay in your browser, so you can come back and pick up where you left off, and are never sent to us. A shared result carries only the ranking of the lists, not the answers behind it.

The ranking goes by positions alone. But next to each list, the results show in how many of the polls filed with the Central Elections Committee it clears the threshold (4 seats or more), so you can weigh that too.

Hebrew, Arabic, Russian, English and French. The questions, positions and arguments are the same in every language, and you can switch between them from the menu at the top of the page.
