Israel's October 27 legislative elections saw a record voter turnout of 77.7%, the highest since 1999. A major factor was the Arab citizens' turnout, estimated by exit polls to be nearly 80%, the highest in at least a decade. Arabs make up about 21% of Israel's population but have historically had lower turnout and fewer Knesset seats, with previous low participation linked to disappointment.
