Israel's Central Election Committee announced that all ballot boxes for the 26th Knesset elections have been closed, and the process has now moved to vote counting, result compilation, and verification. Throughout the voting hours, election integrity teams were deployed to all polling stations. The committee's systems received approximately 10,000 reports for review, with about 2,000 immediately dismissed as non-election integrity issues and automatically closed. Most remaining reports were found to be outside the scope of election integrity. All reported events were handled and closed. Following the end of voting at each polling station, ballot papers will be counted by hand and the results documented in protocols. These protocols and voting materials will be transferred to regional committees for result compilation, examination, and control by the committee's systems. Votes cast via external envelopes will be processed and counted separately at the Central Election Committee after necessary checks, including measures to prevent double voting.
