The Israeli Democracy Index

IDI’s Israeli Democracy Index, the flagship project of IDI's Guttman Center, provides statistical information that gives a reliable and comprehensive picture on the quality and functioning of democracy, as well as the way it is perceived by the public. Recognizing the importance of a substantive and stable democracy in Israel, the Index is used to identify areas that need to be improved and enhanced in our democratic culture and regime. The Israeli Democracy Index, which focuses on a different theme each year, is presented to the President of Israel at an annual ceremony at the President’s Residence in Jerusalem.
