Election official says five polling stations reported disruptions

Central Elections Committee director Orly Adas lists five polling stations that reported problems this morning.

In Tel Sheva in the south, one station opened late due to electrical problems.

In the Arab town of Sakhnin there were reports of threats from “political elements,” Adas says without elaborating. Police are handling the incident, she says.

In a Tel Aviv polling station, a ruckus broke out after a journalist started filming the station without the required permission from election officials.

In the northern city of Karmiel, a man was caught handing out official ballot envelopes with the “gimel” symbol of the United Torah Judaism party. The man was detained and questioned by police.

In Or Yehuda, an individual was questioned after filming in a polling station.
