67 percent of Israelis eligible to vote in yesterday’s election did so. The Percentage is quite high for Israel, and for most western countries.
Both Chareidi parties increased the number of seats that they won from the previous Knesset to this one and tied at 8 seats a piece. The parties together garnered more than half-a-million votes.
Israeli news site Kikar HaShabbat investigated the Chareidi vote and broke it down by city, counting the ballots of each of the cities with a high Chareidi population. The numbers reflect the voting of polling stations in Chareidi neighborhoods only.

The math seems off…
Ramat Shlomo – Shas 13.6%, UTJ 83.3%, United Right 21.%, Llikud 0.9%,
My guess is that by United Right it should say 2.1%.
Most likely United Right was 2.1%, just the . was put in the wrong place. That brings to 99.9, with the difference likely due to rounding.
How are they allowed to take pictures of them behind the screen? Is there some exception for public figures?
The numbers are clearly wrong.
Shas ultimately and overall in all of Israel, got more votes than UTJ but if you look at the above, UTJ ‘won’ in almost every neighborhood.
HaKohen1:
The numbers are not off. Shas got thousands of votes from Sephardic Yidden who are either religious, not religious, or mesorati. Those people do not live in Chareidi neighborhoods.
Sanzer – these numbers are for Chareidi neighborhoods only. In non-Chareidi areas Shas got many more votes than UTJ.
