Israel's Central Election Commission announced that the participation rate in the country's parliamentary elections reached 55.7% by 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 27, which is the highest rate recorded at this time of the day in the history of elections in Israel. This figure shows an increase of 8.2 percentage points compared to 47.5% participation at the same time of the 2022 elections. "If participation continues at this rate, the 80% record may be broken by the end of the day," said Dean Leon, deputy director general of Israel's Central Election Committee.
