High turnout nearly matches last time Netanyahu lost
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe 13.7 percent turnout number comes close to the 14.2 percent who had voted by 10 a.m. in 1999.
That year, which saw Labor leader Ehud Barak push Netanyahu from power, 78.7% of eligible Israelis voted, before turnout numbers fell off to the low-mid 60s in the new millennium.
In 2001 for instance, only 62.3% voted, though by 10 a.m. that year a relatively high 11.1 percent had voted.
