The election silence begins in preparation for the Israeli elections scheduled for Tuesday, and continues until the closing of the last ballot on voting day. Section 129 of the Law on Elections to the Knesset (Parliament) prohibits, starting at seven o'clock in the evening the day before the elections (17:00 GMT) and throughout the voting day, electoral propaganda during rallies and marches, or the use of loudspeakers, as well as through the website's radio and television broadcasts.
