On the 28th local time, Israel's Central Election Commission announced that the number of “double envelope” special ballots for this year's parliamentary election is expected to be between 430,000 and 480,000, less than the 600,000 previously reported. The committee pointed out that such ballots were mainly cast by Israeli soldiers, prison inmates, diplomats abroad, and other voters who were unable to go to designated polling stations. To prevent repeated voting, election officials will conduct a separate count of this batch of ballots after verifying the voter's identity and verifying that they have not voted elsewhere. The figures currently published are still preliminary estimates and may change as reception and processing work progresses. In Israeli politics, an average of every 40,000 votes determines a seat in the parliament, so this batch of “special votes” that are finally counted often becomes a key variable in determining the seats of various parties and even influencing cabinet formation.
