Registration for the 2026 Knesset elections officially closed Tuesday evening, with the final slate of parties now set. The closure marks the formal start of the campaign season. The full list of participating parties has been published in a related report by The Zioneer.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Tuesday evening (21:34 Jerusalem), citing Amit Segal of N12, candidate list submission concluded and only representatives who were present in the registration room at 10 PM remained eligible to submit their lists. This update confirms the closure and provides the finalized party slates.
The closure of candidate registration is a standard procedural milestone in Israel's electoral cycle, after which parties shift to active campaigning. The Zioneer's background coverage earlier noted the same deadline.
