(Worthy News) – The Central Elections Committee on Wednesday night began counting some 450,000 absentee ballots, and said it hoped to conclude the tally by Friday morning.

As of 11 p.m., nearly all regular votes had been tallied, with only a few polling stations’ results still outstanding. [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
