The Central Elections Committee has decided not to extend voting hours beyond 10:00 PM, despite requests from most coalition parties. The committee stated that, given the current circumstances, there is no justification for an extension. They noted that the high national turnout across all sectors indicates significant public engagement in the democratic process, making an extension unnecessary. The committee emphasized that any voter arriving at a polling station by the closing time will be allowed to cast their ballot. However, voting in Hebron will be extended until 10:00 PM due to a power outage.
