Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's main rivals from the right wing - Naftali Bennett and Gideon Saar - cast their ballots in Tuesday's elections.
Bennett, who is celebrating his 49th birthday, voted in his city of Raanana. "I call on everyone to go out and vote, to bring about a change of government," he said while leaving his house.
Saar voted with his wife at a polling station in north Tel Aviv. "This is an exciting day for me. Three and a half months after I formed 'New Hope,' this is the first time it has stood the electoral test of the Israeli public. We have a clear path and a great hope for the future," he said.
