The letter יש
In the last election it appeared in: שינוי – המפלגה האזרחית של ישראל. It appeared in 2 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.
Names recorded for this letter
- שינוי מפלגת החילונים ומעמד הביניים

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.

There is no distance measure here: in every pair of consecutive appearances of the letter, in at least one of them the list's position was not set at all, or rested on too few votes to be stable. The map places a list only if it reached a local support threshold in one of the panel's localities — a threshold that does not depend on its national size.
