How to vote on 17 August
Everything you need in one place - the date, the hours, who is eligible, and where to find your polling station.
Can I vote?
You can vote in the Likud primaries on 17 August if both of these are true:
- You registered as a Likud member on or before 17 April 2025 - that is the 16-month seniority requirement.
- Your membership dues are paid and your membership is in good standing.
Joining now will not make you eligible for this vote. The seniority cut-off passed in April 2025. If you join today you will be eligible for future internal Likud votes, but not for the 17 August primary.
Where do I vote?
Your polling station is assigned by your registered address. The Likud election committee publishes the full national list of polling stations on 12 August 2026. Once it is out, check it against the address on your membership record - not the address you live at now, if the two differ.
If you cannot find your station or your membership status looks wrong, contact the Likud election committee directly. Sorting it out before election day is far easier than arguing at the door.
What to bring
Bring your teudat zehut (Israeli ID card). Voting is in person at your assigned station during opening hours - there is no postal or online voting in the Likud primaries.
