As of 10 a.m. on Tuesday, voter turnout in Israel\u2019s parliamentary elections had reached 16.68% or 1.2 million voters, the highest mid-morning figure since 1981, Central Elections Committee Acting Director-General Dean Livne said at a press conference. That represented an increase of 0.78 percentage points over the corresponding figure in the 2022 elections, JNS reported.<\/p>\n

By noon the same day, 31.5% of Israel\u2019s voters, or 2.3m, had cast their ballots, up from 28.4% at the same time in 2022. According to a report by Ynet, this is the highest midday voter turnout since 1977. In addition to civilians, soldiers also poured to the polling stations across Israel. As of 10am, 30% of the IDF personnel had voted, up from 25.7% in 2022 elections.<\/p>\n

The polls close at 10 pm. As of now, the final polls, prior to the pre-election black out, had Gadi Eisenkot\u2019s Yashar party pulling ahead of Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s Likud, with Naftali Bennett\u2019s Together party taking third spot.

We shall bring you the results of the election as they are released, overnight and during the following days. Coalition negotiations are expected to be a long drawn out process.<\/p>\n
