Anyone who arrived at a polling station before closing time and is in line is entitled to vote even after closing time. 36 lists are competing for the 120 seats in the Knesset. On Election Day, travel on intercity bus lines for distances of more than 15 km and travel on Israel Railways are free for all the public, until the end of public transportation operating hours.
