The counting of "double envelopes" cast by soldiers, security personnel, and evacuees is expected to significantly influence the distribution of Knesset seats and alter the balance of power between political parties. The Central Elections Committee estimates that the counting process will commence this evening and conclude by tomorrow evening, potentially extending until Friday.
These ballots are crucial as they represent over half a million votes. The outcome of their count is particularly significant for the ultra-Orthodox parties, whose electoral strength could be considerably affected by the inclusion of these votes. The delay in counting is attributed to the sheer volume of these special ballots and the logistical challenges involved in processing them.
