They added that the counting of the double envelopes, approximately 420-450 thousand votes, will begin tonight at 11:00 PM. .
Meanwhile, the committee was embarrassed: the true results at 180 polling stations were delayed due to human error.
The Elections Committee stated: "300 ballot boxes arrived at the Knesset very late, towards noon. During the normal inspection process, which also includes checking the protocols, it turned out that for 180 protocols from 180 ballot boxes, the original page was accidentally torn out by members of the ballot box committee instead of the copy page.".
""Because of this, there was difficulty in entering the data from the aforementioned polling stations and it was necessary to restore the protocol and count pages. This took time. At this moment, 90 protocols out of the 180 have been restored and added to the general count. The total number of regular polling stations whose results were counted and entered now stands at 11,831.".
The Yamina faction held a meeting in Ra'anana this afternoon to summarize the election campaign.
