Turnout hits 26.8% by noon, 2 points higher than in April
Voter turnout hits 26.8 percent of eligible voters by noon, the Central Elections Committee’s director Orly Adas says.
That’s 2 points higher than April’s 24.8% by this hour, an “impressive trend,” according to Adas.
The latest figure means 1,713,936 voters have already voted, according to the committee’s figures, drawn from reports from 8,652 polling stations, about 80% of the total, as well as a survey of 513 representative stations nationwide.
