Israel's Central Election Commission opposed the request to extend voting hours in the country's parliamentary elections and announced that voting will end at 10:00 p.m. local time. In the past, the Likud parties led by Benjamin Netanyahu, the religious Shas party led by Aryeh Deri and the Utzma Yehudit party led by Itamar Bangvir demanded that the vote be extended until 23:00. After examining these requests, the Central Election Commission announced: "Given the current situation, there is no justification to extend the voting hours." The committee added: "The high level of participation throughout the country and among all groups of society shows the broad participation of the people in the democratic process." The Central Election Commission also emphasized that people standing in line until the polls close can still vote.
