The 2026 seat allocations are calculated from CEC votes using the Bader–Ofer method and surplus-vote agreements. The atlas groups lists into political blocs.

Double-envelope ballots are included in the national result. Locality and neighborhood breakdowns exclude them because the vote cannot be assigned to a place of residence.

Values are estimates in seats. The final-week average gives each poll equal weight. The model accounts for pollsters and poll age; historical estimates use the archive. Publication dates can differ from fieldwork end dates.
