180,000 Israelis spend election day holiday at national parks
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSome 180,000 Israelis spent the election day holiday in nature reserves or national parks.
According to the National Parks Authority, Ein Afek and Ein Gedi were the most visited nature reserves, while Yarkon, Ein Hemed and Castel were the busiest national parks.
This is the first year that local elections are designated a holiday, a bid to challenge widespread voter apathy and raise the country’s traditionally low turnout rates.
