Israeli election and demographic maps

[danny]

Southern Israel

Map1:


Map 2 continues directly to the south of the first (I had to split it since it went over 2,500 pixels combined):



Note that there are some Bedouins who live in unrecognized villages or as nomads who vote heavily for the UAL-TAAL but don't show up in this map.

[danny]

More Meretz than I'd have guessed.

Yes, but Meretz only wins little villages (this applies to the whole country).

[danny]

I can't find good maps for the settlements, so I'm going to do the 2006 election now.

Starting with the south:



Part 2:

[danny]

Much of that red being a personal vote for Peretz?

Yes, it includes a lot of Mizrahi places that would normally vote Likud, except in this election the Likud was terrible, and because of Peretz Labour was much more appealing than usual.

Jerusalem district 2006:

[danny]

Ah, I forgot that UTJ topped the poll in Jerusalem that election.

Likud performed so badly in 2006 that the 3 biggest parties in Jerusalem were all religious (UTJ, Shas, NU-NRP).

Haifa 2006:

North district 2006:

This thread is a thing of beauty, thankyouthankyouthankyou.

Any chance of some comparative maps, such as Labor v Kadima or Likud v Y.B.?

Maybe, I don't yet know what I will do when I am done with the current maps, for which I plan to go back until the 1999 election eventually (this will take awhile). Although doing such comparative maps might be a problem as all the parties are irrelevant in many places.

[danny]

I made a new version of the 2009 centre map to fit in with the others so that it covers every part of the country (minus the settlements):

And here Is 2006:

Continuing with the 2003 election, starting with Centre:



An interesting thing that does not show up on the map is that Shinui, while it came first in almost nowhere, came second in lots of places (to Likud in a lot of those blue cities, and to Labour in a lot of Labour villages).

Moving on to the 2001 prime-ministerial election, starting with Jerusalem:

Central Israel 2001:

Semester is over, it's time to continue this.

2001 South:

2001 North:



This map can be somewhat misleading because Arab turnout in this election was truly pathetic.


The next maps will be the 1999 election (both PM and Knesset), the last election I have data for.

[danny]

is there anyway you can do the gaza elections?  curious on the vote of the people Sharon betrayed

also curious which system you preferred this system or the current one.

The problem with the settlements is that I don't have a good map for them.

The old system isn't too bad when the Prime ministerial elections and the Knesset elections were at the same time, but having a prime ministerial election alone like 2001 is a bad idea.

1999 Jerusalem PM:



1999 Jerusalem Knesset:

[danny]

Fun fact: in all 4 Knesset elections between 1999 and 2009, the highest placing Left or centre party in Jerusalem always came fourth.

Fun fact: in all 4 Knesset elections between 1999 and 2009, the highest placing Left or centre party in Jerusalem always came fourth.

Isn't that normal? I remember seeing a reportage on French news than parts of the cities were dominated with Orthodoxs (which caused problems with women not dressed enough in buses).

since it happened 4 times in a row, than I suppose that by definition you could call it normal. The comment was about the fact that regardless of the different parties and varying strengths on a national level, the vote in Jerusalem stayed the same.
