Yamina representatives submitted their list for the 24th Knesset to the Central Elections Committee on Wednesday, headed by party leader Naftali Bennett, faction head MK Ayelet Shaked and Sderot Mayor Alon Davidi.
The rest of the party's top candidates are MK Matan Kahana; the founder and head of the Tavor leadership academy Amichai Chikli; former Bayit Yehudi director-general Nir Orbach, I Am Shulman Movement leader Abir Kara and former MK Idit Silman.
Number nine on the list, Shirley Pinto, is a deaf Israeli activist, known for her work for people with disabilities in Israel. She is followed by number 10, Shai Maimon, who heads a social media rapid response team. 
Number 16 on the list, Jeremy Saltan, a Bennett adviser involved in Israeli public diplomacy, was born in Chicago. He was placed after French-speaking attorney Yom-Tov Kalfon, who is tenth, and Ashdod city councilwoman Stella Weinstein, a Russian immigrant, was placed 12th.
The candidates have been promised that the party will back maintaining the Norwegian Law that could help candidates further down the list enter the Knesset. 
Bar-Ilan University Prof. Asher Cohen, who is 15th on the list, ran in the past with Bayit Yehudi. 
Yamina chose the letter Yud to represent the list at polling stations.  The party decided against a legal fight with the Religious Zionist Party and Bayit Yehudi for the Tet Bet letters it ran under in the last election.
