Early indications suggest Arab turnout could be relatively low
There are early indications voter turnout may be down in Israel’s Arab communities.
The Abraham Fund Initiatives, a non-governmental organization that follows political and social issues in Arab communities, said a recent poll it conducted indicated just 51.2 percent of the Arab public was expected to cast ballots on Tuesday. In 2015, 63.7% of Arabs voted in the elections.
Many voters in Arab towns are telling reporters today they don’t think voting will improve their lives.
