KESHET NEEV

A voter surplus is the number of votes a party has left after winning its initial Knesset seats. Surplus-vote agreements can help allied parties turn those extra votes into another seat.

Tibon’s comments came at B’Yachad’s Knesset slate unveiling in Tel Aviv on Sunday, before the deadline for parties to submit their final candidate lists.

Now on Eisenkot’s list, she believes her party is well positioned to triumph in the October elections and “make Israel great again.”

The deadline also means the end to speculation over possible mergers between parties that were polling below the electoral threshold.

Bithonistim chief Amir Avivi, disabled IDF reservist Elisha Medan, government attorney David Peter, and former Labor MK Eli Goldschmidt also joined Likud ahead of the October election.

Party leaders lock in lists at Knesset ahead of Tuesday deadline, last chance for alliances

Eisenkot’s Yashar party has recently led most polls and is part of the opposition bloc seeking to replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the upcoming elections.

Yisrael Beytenu is polling around ten mandates, with the complete list detailing 25 people who would enter the Knesset in case the party earns enough votes.

Yair Lapid's Yesh Atid party is running on a joint list with Bennett, and the final list will include a merger between the two parties' members, pending an agreement on their placements.

“We both chose to try to serve the public through the political arena as well,” they said. “In some cases together and in all other cases separately, but with a very similar ideological outlook.”
