She then went to the polls to vote for United Torah Judaism.
This is a move that began after MK Uri Maklev's demand in the Knesset Constitution Committee, in front of the Central Elections Committee. MK Maklev spoke with the director of the Population Authority, who announced the opening of the bureaus.
As mentioned, over a thousand identity cards were issued over the past 24 hours.
MK Uri Maklev notes that in the last remaining hours, even those who have lost their ID card can go to the Population and Immigration Authority offices to issue an ID card and go to the polling station near their home to exercise their right to vote.
