Arab voting turnout stood at 30 percent as of 6 p.m., well below the 57.5% overall rate among Israelis, according to a research center.

“We would like to clarify that reliable data on the turnout of Arab citizens throughout election day has never before been published, so it is not possible to make a reliable comparison to this figure in the previous elections. Any comparative figure is unfounded,” says Hebrew University’s aChord center.
