During election day, footage emerged showing polling stations devoid of voters in two areas traditionally considered strongholds of the right-wing political camp. Videos captured in the city of Ashdod and the Gilo neighborhood of Jerusalem depicted empty polling stations. One clip from Ashdod showed a ballot box with no one present, while a photograph from Gilo revealed a central polling station without any queues of voters. These images contrasted with expectations for high turnout in areas typically supportive of right-wing parties.
