Following claims of fraud, Israeli police and the Central Elections Committee report a significantly lower number of alleged irregularities, fraud, or violence compared to previous elections. An assessment reviewed 40 incidents, including disturbances, fraud complaints, and impersonation, which is about half the number recorded previously.
