Three Bedouin individuals were apprehended on election day at a polling station in Rahat, suspected of attempting to bribe voters. The suspects allegedly offered money to individuals in exchange for confirmed votes for the Ra'am party. The incident occurred during the Knesset elections on October 27.
Israelis were electing members of the 26th Knesset, with over 7.3 million eligible voters and at least 35 parties competing for seats. Voting took place at 12,018 polling stations across the country, including in prisons and hospitals, with most stations open from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM. The Central Elections Committee is expected to announce the final results by November 4.
Prominent politicians, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Gadi Eisenkot, Yisrael Beiteinu Chairman Avigdor Lieberman, and Democratic Party Chairman Yair Golan, cast their votes early in the day. Voters were instructed to present identification and follow specific ballot handling rules to ensure their vote was counted.
Special provisions were made for voters with limited mobility, with over 6,200 equipped polling stations. Hospitalized patients could vote on-site with proper identification and hospital administration confirmation. Evacuated residents had access to separate polling stations. Election day was declared a public holiday, with free public transportation available on certain routes.
