[The counting of special ballots for the Israeli Knesset election is basically completed] On October 30, Israel’s Central Election Commission announced that the counting of “double envelope” special ballots for Israel’s 26th Knesset election has basically been completed. On the 28th, Israel’s Central Election Commission announced that the number of special “double envelope” ballots in this year’s parliamentary election is expected to be between 430,000 and 480,000, which is less than the approximately 600,000 previously reported. In the Israeli political arena, an average of 40,000 votes determines one seat in the Knesset, so these “special votes” that are finally counted often become a key variable in determining the seats of each party and even affecting the formation of the cabinet.
