The Central Elections Committee issued an official statement this morning announcing the conclusion of its audit operation for the 26th Knesset election results. According to Channel 7 and Maariv, the committee inspected 9,069 polling stations, representing approximately 75% of all standard stations, and found no findings indicating any compromise to the integrity of the elections or changes to the outcomes. Thousands of complaints submitted by parties, candidate lists, and the public were reviewed during the six-day inspection period.

The committee noted that the audits included in-depth examinations of voting materials in 350 polling stations, conducted by public service lawyers and committee staff. The official results are scheduled to be submitted to the President of Israel later today in accordance with the law. Further details have not yet been released.
