Quarter of Jerusalem voters have cast ballots
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsraeli media are now reporting 25 percent turnout for Jerusalem at 7 p.m., across the board. Supports of Nir Barkat believe turnout must rise to 56 percent if the incumbent is to remain mayor.
Interior Minister Gideon Sa’ar, remarking on the turnout, expressed disappointment with the country’s most populous city.
“We are seeing that, despite the fact that the municipality is larger, the turnout is smaller,” he said. “Arabs in the east of the city are almost not participating at all.”
