Voting map

Where do neighbours vote almost alike, and where does a fault line run between communities next door? The map is divided into the CBS statistical areas, each coloured by the bloc that won the most votes there. Each white line is the stretch of boundary two neighbouring areas share, and its thickness shows how differently the two sides voted.

The measure is the Total Variation distance between the two sides' list shares: half the sum of the gaps between every list's percentage on each side. 0% means identical shares; 100% means no list in common at all.

• It is not a test of statistical significance: the number describes the size of a difference, not the chance that it is random.
• Nothing here is inferred about any individual voter: it compares the vote totals of regular polling stations, not people.
• Each station is placed in its statistical area by the CBS's official file for that election. A station the file does not place (about 8–9% of stations, mostly in some Arab towns) is not put in an area by guesswork: it is missing at the area level and counted at the locality level. The faint dashed line is the Green Line.
• 2026: counted votes only, from the latest approved count checkpoint, never the forecast. Stations not yet reported are left out, not counted as zero, and double envelopes are not included.
