The voting turnout among prisoners reached 79 percent, as the 55 polling stations at various prisons and jails across the country have closed, 2 hours before national voting stations do.
The Israel Prison Service says that among the 9,154 eligible prisoners, 7,302 have voted, while the rest declined to.
Among prison staff, 1,298 of the 1,500 eligible officers and guards voted, or 86%, according to IPS.
