Following low reported voter turnout in today’s primary vote, the Likud party is weighing extending its voting hours past 9 p.m., says a Likud spokesman.
As of 5 p.m., only 31% of the party’s 140,000 registered voters have visited the polls. Voter turnout in the party’s previous primary — held in 2019 — reached 58%.
