Voting is underway in a secret ballot at the Knesset in a race for the next state comptroller that will see Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s lawyer Michael Rabello face off against opposition candidate retired Supreme Court justice Yosef Elron.
Lawmakers place their votes in an envelope in a booth behind a curtain to ensure secrecy.
The state comptroller has the authority to audit and review the functioning of government ministries and agencies and examine whether they are acting legally, efficiently and properly.
