The Central Elections Committee announced the final results of Israel's do-over election on Wednesday night. According to the committee, the Likud has gone up one Knesset seat to 32, at the expense of United Torah Judaism, which dropped from eight Knesset seats to seven.

The division of Knesset seats among the blocs, however, remains unchanged, with the center-left camp holding on to 57 Knesset seats compared to the right-wing bloc's 55.

The Blue and White party remains in the lead with 33 Knesset seats, followed by the Likud which now has 32. In third place is the Joint Arab List with 13 Knesset seats, followed by Shas with nine, and Yisrael Beytenu with eight. Following the election committee's announcement, UTJ and Yamina both garnered seven Knesset seats. The Labor-Gesher alliance has six, and the Democratic Union, five.

According to the Central Elections Committee's announcement, the past few days have the results of the election analyzed in various ways, including a comparative examination of the results to oversee the entering of the results both at the ballot boxes as well as with the counting of the double ballots. A number of polling stations across the country were also assessed for electoral purity. Additional polling stations were re-examined following inquiries from the public and the various parties' Knesset lists, as well as due to incidents that occurred on Election Day.

The changes to the final results are the result of, among other things, the disqualification of ballots from six polling stations in Israel's north where evidence of alleged forgery was found. Three of the stations were in the Druze village of Yarka, while the others were situated in the northern Arab cities of Sakhnin, Shfaram, and Arraba.
