— The number of eligible voters in Israel has grown by some 300,000 since the last elections were held in May, 1977 as a result of young people reaching the voting age of 18 and immigration. The electorate now stands at 2,438,886 and is expected to increase by 70-80,000 by the time Israelis go to the polls again this spring.
