The Central Elections Committee and the Israel Police report approximately 40 irregular incidents during the elections, representing half the number recorded in the previous election cycle. These incidents involved public disturbances, fraud, and allegations of double voting, all of which have been addressed by the authorities.
Information submitted to the Central Elections Committee by Likud and other parties is currently under review, though no irregular incidents are known at this time. The investigation into three Ra'am activists arrested with envelopes of cash is ongoing, but there is currently no evidence that the money was intended as election bribes.
Translated quote
“Against the backdrop of claims regarding disruptions to the voting process and allegations of fraud, the Central Elections Committee and the Israel Police say that the number of irregular incidents in the elections totaled about 40, half the number from the previous elections. Our reporter Roee Yanovsky notes that these were incidents of public disturbances, fraud, and citizens claiming that others voted on their behalf. The Elections Committee and the police emphasize that all incidents were handled. The updated information provided by Likud and other parties to the Elections Committee will be checked, but for the time being, no irregular incidents are known. Regarding the arrest of the three Ra'am activists on the eve of the election with envelopes of cash in their possession, our reporter says they are still in custody and the investigation is continuing, but for the time being there is no evidence that this involves money for election bribes.”

“על רקע הטענות לשיבושים בהליך ההצבעה בבחירות וטענות בדבר זיופים, בוועדת הבחירות המרכזית ובמשטרת ישראל אומרים כי מספר האירועים החריגים בבחירות הסתכם בכ-40, מחצית ממספרם בבחירות הקודמות. כתבנו רועי ינובסקי מציין כי מדובר באירועים של הפרות סדר, הונאות ואזרחים הטוענים שאחרים הצביעו בשמם. בוועדת הבחירות ובמשטרה מדגישים כי כל האירועים טופלו. המידע העדכני שהעבירו הליכוד ומפלגות אחרות לוועדת הבחירות ייבדק, אך לפי שעה לא ידוע על אירועים חריגים. באשר למעצרם של שלושת פעילי רעם ערב הבחירות ובידיהם מעטפות כסף, כתבנו מוסר כי הם עדיין עצורים והחקירה נמשכת, אך לפי שעה אין ראיות לכך שמדובר בכספים לשוחד בחירות.”
