As of 10 AM on election day, voter turnout in Israel reached 16.68%. This figure represents the highest turnout for this time of day since 1981, surpassing the 15.9% recorded at the same hour in the previous election. A higher voter turnout generally increases the number of votes required for each parliamentary seat and, consequently, the threshold needed to pass the electoral bloc. This means more votes are necessary for parties to be represented in the Knesset.
