Elections in Israel coming to an end

As of 20: 00 20% of voters took part in the Israeli Knesset 65,7 elections. It is noted that we are talking about the highest rate to this hour, starting with the 1999 year.

In the elections to the Knesset 19, the percentage of those who voted for 20: 00 was 63,7%.

We add that in 20: 00, voting at polling stations in settlements where no more than 350 people live has ended. In prisons and a bullpen (Pre-Trial Chamber) voting was over. There the turnout was 80%.

Voting in the Knesset elections 20 convocation will end in 22: 00.

Based on past election campaigns, not everyone will want to realize this right next Tuesday. If in the first years of independence, the electoral turnout was over 80%, over the past two decades, this figure has steadily decreased and did not exceed 65-67%.

One of the reasons for such a low turnout is the growing apathy of the population towards many political processes in the country and constant coalition scandals, often leading to early elections. Since the late 80s, no government has managed to remain in power until the end of its term.

On this score, Israel is sounding the alarm and actively urging not to remain indifferent to its future. In order to attract citizens of the country to come to the polling stations, the CEC of Israel even ordered special videos, with the participation of famous actors, writes BBC News.

The past election campaign in the Knesset of the 20-th convocation in Israel has already been called the dirtiest in the entire history of the country. In part, this is explained by the lack of need for early elections. The previous government worked for only a year and eight months, and many Israelis are still confident that the elections could have been avoided.
