First-time voters are eager to cast their ballots, which could determine up to 12 Knesset seats

First-time young voters in Israel are showing high levels of eagerness to cast their ballots in the upcoming election. Over 80 percent of these young citizens have indicated that they will definitely participate.

This demographic's voting decisions are expected to be significantly influenced by their recent experiences serving in the army following the events of October 7, or by their upcoming military conscription. Analysts estimate that the turnout and choices of this group could collectively determine up to 12 seats in the Knesset.
