Central Elections Committee director general Orly Ades announces that as of 12 p.m., 28.4% of eligible voters have voted.
This compares to 25.4% of the public who had voted by this time in the last election.
It is the highest percentage since 1999, when 28.9% had voted by this stage.
Ades also says that there are reports of overcrowding at special polling booths for the disabled. These booths allow the disabled to vote anywhere in the country, not near their residence as is generally the case.
Ades warns that those who falsely sign declarations that they are disabled will be prosecuted.
