Record turnout of 77.7% in Israel's October 27, 2026 Knesset election—the highest since 1999 and up over 7 points from 2022—reflected intense voter mobilization in the first national vote since the October 7, 2023 attacks. Widespread participation, including record rates among Arab citizens and soldiers, stemmed from dissatisfaction with the incumbent government's security and foreign policy record. Neither the Netanyahu-aligned bloc (53 seats) nor the main opposition (48 seats) secured a majority, leaving Arab parties (19 seats) as potential influencers in coalition talks. Official results certification on November 4 precedes the new Knesset convening on November 10 and subsequent government formation negotiations.
