Final preparations ahead of Israel's third consecutive parliamentary elections are underway.

At Israel's Central Election Committee logistics centre, staff wrapped ballot boxes and prepared voting material.

According to the Central Elections Committee, there are 6,453,255 registered voters eligible to vote for the 120-member Israeli legislature, known as the Knesset.

Blue and White party leader Benny Gantz is trying to unseat Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the March 2 vote after two elections in 2019 failed to yield a conclusive result.
