The United Arab List party has accused the police of taking control of ballot boxes in Ar'arat an-Naqab (Arara in the Negev) shortly after the electricity was cut in the area. The party alleges that voters are being prevented from entering the polling stations. The party warned of what it described as a "widespread and systematic campaign" by the right-wing, which they claim has been ongoing since the morning. According to the party, this campaign aims to prevent them from securing eight Knesset seats. They assert that achieving this number could enable the formation of an alternative coalition of 61 members of Knesset, potentially leading to the downfall of the current right-wing government.
