Israel’s election commission says no fraud found in last week’s vote
The committee reviewed 9,069 polling stations and said corrections were made only where official records required them, rejecting fraud claims.
- Israel's Central Elections Committee announced Wednesday that an extensive review of parliamentary election results found no evidence of irregularities, dealing a significant blow to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's attempts to discredit the vote.
- Netanyahu and his supporters repeatedly made unsubstantiated claims that Arab-led parties "stole" the vote to delegitimize their participation in the Knesset. The October 27 election left his bloc without a majority, making the Arab-led parties' seats central to forming any government.
- The Central Elections Committee examined records from 9,069 polling stations, representing approximately 75% of the country's 12,018 regular voting locations. The operation processed 2,452 submissions from political parties and candidate lists regarding potential election integrity issues.
- Acting Central Elections Committee Director-General Dean Livne emphasized the committee's commitment to transparency, stating, "This is our responsibility to the voters and to the lists that contested the election: to thoroughly investigate every claim, make corrections when needed and publish the findings transparently."
- The official election results for the 26th Knesset will be presented to the president, concluding the verification process. This outcome settles the recent challenges to Israel's electoral integrity and clears the path for coalition negotiations.
