News 📅 27 October 2026 📍 Israel

Arab48 reported at 22:18 Israel time on 27 October that sources in the Joint List campaign put turnout in Arab communities above 75% by 21:00. It also reported official Central Elections Committee figures for individual Arab towns through 20:00, including 83.5% in Sakhnin, 81.3% in Kafr Qasim and 79.8% in Rahat. The national turnout figure was 74.3% by 20:00. These figures use different reporting times and sources: the Arab-community total is attributed to campaign sources, while town figures are attributed to official committee data. The report described a campaign to raise Arab participation amid concerns about delays and attempts to discourage voters; turnout does not establish party preference or the election outcome.
