The Central Election Committee announced that all polling stations for the 26th Knesset elections have closed, and the process is now moving to the vote counting stage. Throughout the voting hours, the election integrity system was deployed at all polling stations. The committee's systems received approximately 10,000 reports for examination, of which about 2,000 were immediately dismissed as election integrity incidents and automatically closed. Most of the remaining reports were found to be events outside the scope of election integrity. All events were handled and closed. Upon completion of voting at each polling station, the ballot papers will be counted by hand and the results documented in a protocol. The protocols and voting materials will be transferred to the regional committees, and the results will undergo reception, examination, and control processes in the committee's systems. Votes cast in external envelopes will be handled and counted separately at the Central Election Committee after necessary checks, including measures to prevent double voting.
