Central Elections Committee director general Orly Ades says that police are being stationed at polling booths in the northern Druze town of Yarka after reports of irregularities.
Ades says officers will be placed at the entrance to each room where voting is taking place. So far 18 officers have been posted at the town’s 20 voting stations.
In addition, poll workers in the town who are members of political parties will be replaced by unaffiliated members of the CEC.
The moves come after reports that a large number of empty envelopes were taken earlier in the day.
Despite this, voting is continuing as normal in Yarka, Ades says.
