The letter ודעם
In the last election it appeared in: הרשימה המשותפת (חד"ש, תע"ל, בל"ד). It appeared in 4 elections.
Each bar is the letter's share of that election's votes, not of a running total — otherwise growth in the electorate would look like political decline.
What this page does not claim
A letter is an allocation by the Elections Committee, not a party's identity.
Letters are reassigned: the letter ז, for example, has been used by nine different lists since 2003. So the page shows the name each election actually recorded for the letter, and does not say it was the same list over time.
The Distance column is the only evidence here of continuity that does not rest on the letter itself — it is measured in the space of the map, from one appearance to the next.

Listed as they appear in the source, in Hebrew, without merging names that look alike — whether two lists are "the same party" is a decision the Elections Committee's records do not make, and so it is not made here.

Seat numbers come from the Elections Committee's results tables, which are held here from the 21st Knesset on. For earlier elections the source is the official gazette (Yalkut Hapirsumim), which records list names and not seats — hence "Not in source", and not zero.
Distance is the distance on the political map between the list's position in this election and its position the previous time the letter appeared — not necessarily the previous election, since letters skip elections. A small distance means the list drew support from the same kinds of localities; it does not mean they were the same voters. How the map was built
