What documents are needed to vote in the Knesset elections
Voters in the Knesset elections on October 27 must present an identification document. A "teudat zehut" (even an expired one), a driver's license, or a foreign passport are acceptable. Military personnel can vote with their military ID, police officers with their service ID, and Knesset members with their parliamentary card. The voter notification is not required.
In the Knesset elections scheduled for October 27, voters must present an identification document. Ordinary Israeli citizens can present one of three documents: a "teudat zehut" (identity card), a driver's license, or a foreign passport ("darkon"). Driver's licenses and foreign passports must be valid, while for the "teudat zehut," even an expired document is acceptable if it is in satisfactory condition and the photo allows identification. However, an expired "teudat zehut" may cause difficulties at the polling station, so it is recommended to bring a valid driver's license or foreign passport. Military personnel can vote using their military ID — "hoger," "teudat nagad," or "teudat katzin." Police officers in certain cases can verify their identity with a service ID, and current Knesset members with their parliamentary card. The voter notification that citizens receive before the elections is not an identification document, and its presence at the polling station is not mandatory. If the notification has not arrived, the polling station address can be checked through a government service by providing the passport number and date of birth. Israeli citizens who obtained citizenship no later than September 3, are at least 18 years old on election day, and are registered with the Population Registry with a specific residential address have the right to vote.
