Voting for the 26th Knesset has commenced for Israeli soldiers at military bases and outposts across all operational sectors. This early voting process is designed to enable career soldiers and active reservists to exercise their democratic right, even while engaged in operational duties and combat beyond Israel's borders. Approximately 850 military polling stations are expected to operate from the Hermon in the north to Eilat in the south, as well as among forces stationed in Lebanon, Syria, and the Gaza Strip. About a quarter of these polling stations will be mobile units, ensuring accessibility for personnel on various missions and in different sectors. The voting period for soldiers will continue until the general polling stations close next Tuesday, contingent upon operational needs. The military's elections officer stated prior to the opening of the polls, "Our mission is to enable all IDF service members to exercise their democratic right to a secret ballot, even during operational activity and combat beyond the border." She added, "The IDF is a national army that will do everything necessary to ensure the elections are conducted in an orderly manner."
