Turnout slightly up among soldiers: 59% as of 6 p.m.

Some 59 percent of soldiers have voted in Israel’s national elections as of 6 p.m., according to the military.

This is slightly higher than in the last elections, when some 57% of troops had voted by this time, the army says.

Polls officially opened for soldiers earlier this week, instead of this morning, in order to accommodate troops who would otherwise be unable to vote due to their deployment.
