About
13.75 percent of eligible Israeli voters cast ballots within the first three
hours of Knesset elections, according to data released by the country's
official electoral commission on Tuesday.
The
data showed a 2.3-percent increase in voter turnout compared to the last poll
two years ago.
In
the 2013 election, only 11.4 percent of eligible voters had cast ballots as of
10am, although the figure had risen to 26 percent one hour later.
Israelis
on Tuesday began flocking to polling stations across the self-proclaimed Jewish
state to elect new Knesset members amid a dead heat between the incumbent Likud
party and the center-left Zionist Union alliance.
Official election results
will be announced on Thursday, according to the commission.
