Voter turnout at 56.3% as of 6 p.m.; 3,611 cast ballots at booths for quarantined voters

The Central Elections Committee says that as of 6 p.m., 56.3 percent of eligible Israeli voters have cast their ballots.

That is up from September, when 53.5% of voters had gone to the polls by 6 p.m., and April, when 52% had voted by that time.

Like earlier figures published by the committee, the figure marks the highest voting turnout as of this hour since the 1999 elections.

The committee also says that 3,611 people voted at the special polling stations for people under quarantine.
