The Central Elections Committee announced that the counting of "double envelopes" began at 1:00 AM, while results from regular ballot boxes continue to be processed. As of 1:00 AM, results from 11,712 ballot boxes had been received. The "double envelopes" process involves removing inner voting envelopes from outer ones, mixing them to obscure the link between voter identity and their ballot, thereby preserving voting secrecy. These envelopes are then transferred for counting at the counting facility in the Knesset parking lot.
