Voter turnout as of 10 a.m.: 12.9%, slightly lower than in 2015
Voter turnout as of 10 a.m. is at 12.9%, Central Elections Committee director Orly Adas tells reporters at 11 a.m.
That’s 0.8 percentage points lower than at the same hour in the 2015 election, which came to 13.7%.
The turnout is among all eligible voters, Adas notes, and an estimated 11.9% of eligible voters live permanently overseas – in a country that has no absentee ballot.
Actual turnout is thus closer to 14.6% of eligible voters currently living in Israel.
The figure is from reports submitted by 7,031 out of over 10,000 polling stations nationwide, Adas says.
