The "Our Strength is in Our Unity" initiative, which included 5,000 Israelis who identify as Religious Zionists, this week held open primaries via the internet.
In the primaries, voters could name their preferred candidates from any of the Religious Zionist lists, including the Jewish Home, National Union, New Right, Otzma Yehudit, the former Yachad party, and others.
The results of the primaries, which can be adopted until the deadline for submitting party lists to the Knesset at 10:00p.m. Wednesday night, showed that the Religious Zionist public prefers a single party with the following candidates.
Included in the list are the number of votes each candidate received.
1. Bezalel Smotrich - 1,150 votes (currently head of the National Union party)
2. Ayelet Shaked - 884 votes (currently number two in the New Right party)

"Our Strength is in Our Unity" responded: "This is the will of the voters. These primaries prove that the wisdom of the public is very different than the decisions of the politicians, and that the democratic way, in which the voter decides, is the best way to achieve a representative party list. "
"There are only a few hours left to join ranks. It's not too late to save Religious Zionism. We call on the members of the various parties to put aside their ego games and create a single list which represents the will of the public."
