Arab party says turnout in community at just 15% as of 2:30 p.m.
Fifteen percent of Arab Israeli eligible voters have voted as of 2:30 p.m., Hadash-Ta’al’s election headquarters says.
The figure is based on data collected by the party’s headquarters, says Kamila Tayoon, a Hadash spokeswoman.
Hadash-Ta’al is an alliance between a socialist Hadash, which emphasizes Arab-Jewish cooperation, and exclusively Arab faction Ta’al.
Tayoon adds: “This number is slightly lower than past years, but we believe a large number of people will vote in the late afternoon.”
