The Likud party's Election Purity Staff reported 620 instances of alleged irregularities in the Arab sector by 3 PM on election day. These reports include missing sealed envelopes, prohibited information transfer, and violence, according to Sagi Keizler, director of the staff.

Keizler criticized the Central Election Committee's management, stating they are "cutting corners" where strict adherence is needed to prevent fraud. He demanded an immediate investigation into the suspicions.

The data was collected by over 1,500 representatives and observers deployed to polling stations across Israel. Approximately one-third of the reports concern voter registration and information transfer outside polling stations, which violates High Court directives. Other reported issues include problems with ballots and envelopes, difficulties in voter identification, and inadequate staffing of election committees.

Specific incidents cited include the disappearance of 10 sealed envelopes at a polling station in Fassuta and a shortage of 11 envelopes in Jadeidi-Makr. The Likud staff also criticized a directive from the Election Committee's director-general to "ensure there is no overload," arguing it could compromise voter identification and voting procedures.

Keizler called for immediate investigation, the placement of independent observers, and the assurance of a proper and transparent voting process.
