The Central Elections Committee has decided against extending voting hours beyond the standard closing time of 10:00 PM (22:00). The committee discussed requests from right-wing parties that sought to allow voters more time to cast their ballots. However, the committee ultimately ruled to maintain the traditional voting schedule, rejecting the parties' proposals.
This decision means the voting process will conclude at the usual time, despite the appeals from several parties on the right of the political spectrum. The committee's ruling was described as dramatic and a blow to the Likud party, though the specific reasons for this characterization were not detailed in the report.
