For the first time in Israel's election history, the Central Elections Committee is set to release real-time voting percentages broken down by city. This new initiative, occurring during the Knesset elections, means that direct comparisons to previous election data for individual cities will not be possible. However, the national turnout figures, expected in about an hour, will allow for comparisons with past elections.
Officials are urging caution regarding early reports and claims of unusually high voter turnout from various political camps. These claims should be viewed skeptically until a clearer picture emerges from the official data provided by the Elections Committee. The public can access the live voting data on the committee's website at https://mapvotes.bechirot.gov.il/?c=215846.52,595399.34&z=2.065619542996089.
