Research center reports uptick in Arab voter turnout

The Hebrew University’s aChord center reports an uptick in voter turnout among Arab Israelis, with its prediction models saying 44 percent have voted as of 8 p.m.

At the current pace, 54% of Arab Israelis will have voted when polls close at 10 p.m., according to the model.

“This rate is lower than the 60% voting rate needed to ensure representation in the Knesset, but according to the predictions, it’s possible to reach this voting percentage during the coming hour and a half,” the research center says in a statement.
