	Electoral Reform for Israel
		The only departures from this pure proportional representation system are that a party must receive a minimum of slightly over 1 percent of the votes to qualify for a seat and it is possible for parties to enter into agreements to pool extra fractions of percentages for the advantage of one or the other.
		In the case of most of them, their Knesset lists were chosen by a narrow group of party leaders.
		Outside of the Knesset, lobbying for electoral reform has primarily been the province of olim from the English-speaking countries whose experience in the lands of their origin has made them strong supporters of both personal and district elections.

	MyJewishLearning.com - History & Community: Israeli Electoral System
		The national legislature was named the Knesset after the rabbinical legislative body in ancient Judea over 2,000 ago, and the number of its members was set at 120, exactly the same as its ancient namesake.
		After elections for the Knesset have been conducted, the president of the State of Israel will approach the leader of one of the parties--generally the party that has received the greatest number of votes--and entrust him or her the task of forming a government.
		Should a majority of the Knesset join in voting in favor of no-confidence, the government's term in office comes to an abrupt end; this is called the fall of a government.

		In the elections to the second and seventh Knessets the excess votes (the votes received by a list which passed the qualifying threshold, but are not sufficient for a whole seat) were distributed to those lists which had the largest number of excess votes (the Hare method).
