    Gerrymandering isn’t a thing in Israel.

    The knesset (Israel’s only lesgislative body) uses party-list proportional voting, using closed party lists and the d’hont method for apportioning seats.

    Basically, each party publishes a list of candidates. As long as that party gets at least 3.25% of the vote, they’ll get a seat.

    On the plus side, everyone has a voice. On the minus side, it’s not hard for the crazies to get a seat at the table and an outsized voice due to having to make a governing coalition.
