Validation

Rule	Status	Detail
1 party votes = valid votes	pass	all elections
2 valid votes = official total	pass	9/9 elections compared
4 ballot_key unique	pass	all elections
6a voters = valid + invalid	pass	0 violations
6b voters <= eligible	pass	3 ballot boxes, all in the reviewed known-exceptions list (e.g. K18 מי עמי 282/198)
7 every list with votes has a name	pass	all lists named
9 published votes per list = ours	pass	all 302 lists
3 ballot sums = CEC locality files (K19-K26)	pass	9671 locality-election rows compared
8 national turnout = official	pass	all elections within 0.06pp (published to 1-2 decimals)
5 locality codes exist in locality list	pass	4 codes absent from the CBS/PA list (they no longer exist as separate places), all explained in locality_lineage; 27,928 votes in total
14 locality lineage complete	pass	every locality-election has a series key; 13 links, merge/split events reconcile within 6% of baseline growth
15 list names	pass	all threshold-passing lists have a Hebrew name; 2 tiny lists have no name in the source (k20:ףץ, k20:זץ; under 5,000 votes each)
16 party families seed	pass	all threshold-passing lists assigned (all 120 seats in every election); 13 lists with 0.7%+ of votes that missed the threshold are left unlinked on purpose: no family is established for them
17 serving tables reconcile	pass	national_results = official valid votes (9/9); with envelopes = in localities + envelopes; locality_results = national in-locality votes; locality valid + envelope valid = official
18 family tables consistent	pass	list_trends and locality_family_results recompute exactly from list_family; `same` shares never exceed 100% per election
19 localities table	pass	1232 localities = 1232 distinct codes; no result row without a locality
20 series discontinuity flags	pass	9,580 series-election changes assessed, 49 flagged (worst election K21: 0.71% of locality eligible voters); flags mark abrupt changes lineage does not explain, they do not say why

13 locality map points cover valid votes	pass	worst election 99.19% of locality votes (points, not polygons)
10 seats sum to 120; seats iff threshold passed	pass	all elections sum to 120; every list over the threshold has seats and none below it (K18-K20 seats from Wikipedia, matched by votes; K26 from the CEC allocation)

External envelopes

External envelopes (soldiers, prisoners, diplomats and others) belong to no locality. They are counted in national totals, so those match the official results, and they are left out of maps, rankings and locality comparisons. They were 5.5% of valid votes in the 18th Knesset and 9.6% in the 25th.

Turnout

Official turnout includes external envelopes. In-locality turnout is votes at locality ballot boxes only, so it is lower than the official figure (25th Knesset: 63.8% in localities vs 70.6% official). Which one is shown is always labelled.

Party lineage

Ballot letters are not a stable key (כן was Kadima in the 18th Knesset and National Unity in the 25th). Each list is linked to a party family with a confidence and a note. Lists with no link stay unlinked. A joint list is shown as a series of its own. Its votes are never split between the parties on it. On trend charts, a hollow marker is the share of the whole joint list.

Demographic variables

These variables appear in the demographics lens. Spearman is weighted by in-locality valid votes; localities under 200 valid votes are dropped. Three CBS definitions are not settled in the published files and are marked here.

Variable	Group	Unit	Definition	Note
Dependency ratio `DependencyRatio`	age	per 1,000 aged 20-64	confirmed	Verified 2026-10-31: equals (age0_19 + age65) / age20_64 x 1,000 in all 1,171 localities with data
Share aged 0-19 `age0_19_pcnt`	age	%	confirmed	–
Share aged 20-64 `age20_64_pcnt`	age	%	confirmed	–
Share aged 65+ `age65_pcnt`	age	%	confirmed	–
Median age `age_median`	age	years	confirmed	–
Share with an academic certificate `AcadmCert_pcnt`	education	%	definition unconfirmed	Age base not stated in the CBS file (likely adults, 25+). Plausible: Tel Aviv 43%, Herzliya 40%, Jerusalem 20%, Bnei Brak 7%. Use for ranking and correlation, not as an exact attainment figure
Average children born (women) `ChldBorn_avg`	household	children	definition unconfirmed	Age base to confirm
Households with no vehicle `Vehicle0_pcnt`	household	%	confirmed	–
Households with 2+ vehicles `Vehicle2up_pcnt`	household	%	confirmed	–
Average household size (population file) `avg_household_size`	household	persons	confirmed	–

Share married, aged 18-34 `married18_34_pcnt`	household	%	definition unconfirmed	–
Households owning their home `own_pcnt`	household	%	confirmed	–
Households renting `rent_pcnt`	household	%	confirmed	–
Average household size `size_avg`	household	persons	confirmed	–
Share who immigrated since 2002 `aliya2002_pcnt`	immigration	%	definition unconfirmed	Reference population to confirm
Share who immigrated since 2010 `aliya2010_pcnt`	immigration	%	definition unconfirmed	Reference population to confirm
Jews born abroad (share of Jews) `j_abr_pcnt`	immigration	%	confirmed	See j_isr_pcnt
Jews born in Israel (share of Jews) `j_isr_pcnt`	immigration	%	confirmed	Verified: j_isr + j_abr = 100 in all 1,052 localities with data, so the pair partitions one base. 'Of Jews' is read from the j_ prefix; localities with almost no Jews are missing or noisy
Most common country of birth of immigrants `shem_eretz1`	immigration	category	definition unconfirmed	–
Employees in top wage deciles `EmployeesWage_decile9Up`	income	%	definition unconfirmed	Definition not stated; values track wages (Modi'in 41%, Herzliya 35%, Bnei Brak 7%), plausibly the share of employees earning above the national 9th-decile threshold. Do not label as 'top 10%' until confirmed
Median annual income, self-employed `SelfEmployedAnnual_medWage`	income	NIS per year	definition unconfirmed	Same caveats as the employee wage; small localities are noisy (few self-employed)
Median annual wage, employees `employeesAnnual_medWage`	income	NIS per year	definition unconfirmed	Unit read from magnitude and ordering (Tel Aviv 135,000; Herzliya 144,000; Jerusalem 80,600; Bnei Brak 74,000; range 28,500-291,600); CBS does not state the wage year in the file (probably tax year 2021). Show as 'annual wage, Census 2022 file'; use for relative comparison
Majority religion `ReligionHeb`	religion	category	confirmed	Categorical: Jews / Muslims / Druze / ...
Predominant household religiosity (code) `hh_MidatDatiyut_code`	religion	code	definition unconfirmed	From CBS column hh_MidatDatiyut_Name: 4 = Haredi, 3 = religious / very religious; other codes inferred
Predominant household religiosity `hh_MidatDatiyut_label`	religion	category	definition unconfirmed	From CBS column hh_MidatDatiyut (text). One predominant level per locality (secular, traditional, religious / very religious, Haredi), not a share. The CBS columns hh_MidatDatiyut and hh_MidatDatiyut_Name are swapped in the file.
Arab share of population `share_arabs_2024`	sector	%	confirmed	total_arabs / total_population, CBS dictionary API 2024
Jewish and other (non-Arab) share of population `share_jews_and_others_2024`	sector	%	confirmed	CBS category 'Jews and others': Jews plus non-Arab non-Jews. total_jews_and_others / total_population, CBS dictionary API 2024
Population (CBS 2024 locality dictionary) `cbs_population_2024`	size	persons	confirmed	CBS dictionary API, year 2024
Foreigners `foreigners`	size	persons	confirmed	–
Residents in collective residences and institutions `institutional_residents`	size	persons	confirmed	–
Population (approx.) `pop_approx`	size	persons	confirmed	Census 2022, rounded

Total population (Census 2022) `total_population`	size	persons	confirmed	From the population-and-households file
CBS socio-economic cluster 2019 (1-10) `socio_cluster_2019`	socio economic	cluster	confirmed	Municipalities and local councils from CBS table 1.A (2021 publication, 2019 column); localities inside regional councils from the data.gov.il 2019 file
CBS socio-economic cluster 2021 (1-10) `socio_cluster_2021`	socio economic	cluster	confirmed	Municipalities and local councils only (CBS table 1.A). Localities inside regional councils are not in this table
CBS socio-economic index 2021 (standardized, mean 0) `socio_index_2021`	socio economic	index	confirmed	Same coverage as socio_cluster_2021
CBS socio-economic rank 2021 (1 = lowest) `socio_rank_2021`	socio economic	rank	confirmed	Rank among the 255 local authorities
Employees as share of those who worked `Empl_pcnt`	work	%	confirmed	Verified: Empl + SelfEmpl averages 99.7 in the 143 localities with 10,000+ residents. The shortfall is in kibbutzim (e.g. Be'eri, Gan Shmuel, Sasa, Yotvata, Mishmar HaEmek), probably because members are a separate category
Average weekly work hours `HrsWrkWk_avg`	work	hours	confirmed	–
Self-employed as share of those who worked `SelfEmpl_pcnt`	work	%	confirmed	See Empl_pcnt
Share working outside their locality `WrkOutLoc_pcnt`	work	%	confirmed	–
Share who worked during the year `WrkY_pcnt`	work	%	definition unconfirmed	Age base to confirm (15+?)

Statistical rules

Locality rankings need at least 500 valid votes. A comparison between two elections is computed in the browser from the two election files and is never stored as a table. A locality-level association does not describe how individuals vote.

Known limits

There is no ballot-box detail in this version, because box IDs do not line up between elections. Large cities hide very different neighbourhoods. Demographic figures are snapshots (Census 2022, clusters 2019 and 2021) and do not match every election year exactly.
