A military ballot box was installed for the first time at the "Derech Chaim" Haredi Hesder Yeshiva, allowing over 160 students to vote on-site. This arrangement enables students to participate in elections without leaving the yeshiva, preventing disruptions to their study schedules. The yeshiva's expansion to over 160 students made the installation possible, a first for a Haredi Hesder Yeshiva of this size.

  • A military ballot box was installed for the first time at the "Derech Chaim" Haredi Yeshiva.
  • Over 160 students at the yeshiva can now vote without leaving the institution.
  • The arrangement allows students to vote without disrupting their study schedules.
  • This is the first time a Haredi Hesder Yeshiva of this size has hosted a military ballot box.

For the first time, a military ballot box was set up inside the "Derech Chaim" Haredi Hesder Yeshiva, enabling its more than 160 students to vote without leaving the institution. The ballot box was opened on Tuesday, allowing students in the Hesder program to exercise their right to vote on-site. Previously, no Haredi Hesder Yeshiva with the required number of students had hosted a military ballot box. The expansion of "Derech Chaim" to over 160 students made this arrangement possible. This new setup allows students, some voting for the first time, to participate in Knesset elections without disrupting their study schedules or traveling to external polling stations. Yeshiva rabbis welcomed the election officers, thanking them for the arrangements that allowed studies to continue uninterrupted. They stated that having the ballot box within the yeshiva eliminated the need to cancel classes for voting, a situation that sometimes occurs at other yeshivas.
