The Central Elections Committee announced an update on the counting of "double envelopes" on Wednesday evening. Initially, an estimate of 600,000 envelopes was made, but this number has since been reduced by a fifth to between 430,000 and 480,000 envelopes, a quantity equivalent to eight parliamentary seats. The process involves separating the inner voting envelopes from the outer ones after scanning and verification to maintain voter anonymity. These envelopes are then transferred to the counting area at the Knesset parking lot.
Following the completion of the envelope scanning, the vote counting is scheduled to commence around 1:00 AM on Thursday. The final election results are anticipated to be announced on Thursday evening. For those interested, the counting process will be broadcast live via a feed to news systems and on the Central Elections Committee's official YouTube channel. The results will be updated throughout the night on the committee's website and the Srugim news site.
