Central Elections Committee director Orly Adas says that final results from all the regular polling stations will be confirmed and published this afternoon.
According to Adas, the polling stations have all finished counting but the elections committee is checking the results according to protocol and gradually updating the total tally.
“All the votes have been counted. By the afternoon, 100% of the regular polling stations will be published,” she tells Channel 12 news.
Adas also says that there were some 450,000 “double envelope” ballots — absentee votes cast anywhere outside of one’s assigned polling station.
In the previous three elections, the number of people voting by double-envelope rose from 240,000, to 280,000, to 330,000 in the last election on March 2, 2020.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
