Voting has been temporarily canceled at a polling center in Jerusalem, after the ballots for challenger Moshe Lion were discovered to be missing.

Workers at the center, located on Ussishkin Street in central Jerusalem, noticed the missing ballots and asked the Elections Committee to shut down the center, pending an investigation and the delivery of more ballots.

Elections in Israel are conducted by voters selecting a ballot representing the desired candidate or political party and placing it in an envelope, which is in turn placed in a ballot box. Without the proper ballots, voting is impossible.
