选民不会直接投票给内塔尼亚胡先生或他的任何挑战者。相反，他们将投票给政党名单，其中一些名单合并了来自一个以上政党的候选人。新的政党可能还会组建，预计一些政党将拆分或合并其名单。他们可以在选举前七周（即候选人登记截止时）之前这样做。
Voters will not cast their ballot directly for Mr Netanyahu or one of his challengers. Instead they will vote for party lists, some of which combine candidates from more than one party. New parties may yet be formed, and some are expected to split or merge their lists. They can do this up to seven weeks before the election, when registration closes.
这些变化将对竞选的动态以及竞选最后阶段的民调趋势产生巨大影响。一个名单只需赢得全国3.25%的选票即可获得席位。在2022年，有十个名单跨越了这一门槛。
These changes will have a big influence on the campaign’s dynamics and polling trends in the final stage of the race. A list needs to win only 3.25% of the national vote to receive any seats. In 2022 ten cleared that hurdle.
未能跨过门槛的名单所获得的选票将会失效，这可能会影响各阵营之间的力量平衡。
Votes for lists which fail to cross the threshold will be lost, which could affect the balance between the blocs.
