The Central Elections Committee announced that the counting of double envelopes has commenced. According to a committee statement, this process involves separating inner voting envelopes from outer ones to maintain voter anonymity. The inner envelopes are then mixed before being transferred to the counting facility located in the Knesset parking lot for tabulation.
This procedure is a standard part of the electoral process designed to ensure the secrecy of the ballot. The mixing of envelopes prevents any link between a voter's identity and their specific vote.
