12,018 polling stations opened across Israel for 7,331,981 eligible voters in the elections for the 26th Knesset. The polling stations, which opened at 7:00 a.m., will close at 10:00 p.m. In communities with up to 350 eligible voters only, polling stations are open between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., as well as in some special polling stations (for example, in hospitals, nursing homes and prisons). Anyone who arrived at a polling station before closing time and is in line is entitled to vote even after closing time. 36 lists are competing for the 120 seats in the Knesset. On election day, travel on intercity bus lines for distances of more than 15 km and travel on Israel Railways are free for all the public, until the end of public transportation operating hours.
