- Pollster Shlomo Filber warned high voter turnout could eliminate small parties.
- Dramatic increases in voter turnout were observed across all sectors.

- Final election results are expected to differ from recent polls.
Pollster Shlomo Filber, who manages Channel 14's election poll, stated on air that data from the field indicates a dramatic rise in voter turnout across all sectors. Filber explained that a significant increase in the overall number of voters raises the 'price' of a Knesset seat and effectively elevates the electoral threshold. He argued that this reality jeopardizes the chances of small, undecided parties to pass the minimum percentage of votes required to enter the Knesset. Filber also noted that due to the dynamics of election day and the changing participation rates, the final results and the evening's poll will certainly differ from the channel's last survey released on Thursday.
