Arab voting stands at some 23% at 4 p.m., lagging far behind the overall vote, according to the Hebrew University’s aChord center.

Overall, 47.5% of eligible voters had voted by that time, according to the Central Elections Committee, the highest number since 1999. The CEC does not give a breakdown according to sectors.

According to aChord, its numbers are based on statistical modeling and reports from polling stations that were sampled.
