Arab turnout is half of national average in Labor primary
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleLabor’s leadership primary is not impressing the party’s Arab membership, based on turnout figures less than an hour before ballots close.
Overall turnout from all sectors of the party passed 52 percent of the 52,505 eligible voters at roughly 8 p.m. Polls close at 9.
According to Channel 2, turnout in kibbutzim is a slightly higher 54% than the national average, with 51% in the south, and 49% in Tel Aviv. In Arab communities, however, turnout among Labor party members is just 28%.
