As of 6:00 pm this evening, 50.3% of eligible voters had cast ballots in today's election. That compares with 47.3% in 2006 and 52.3% in 2003. This is a higher turnout than expected.

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.

Looks like turnout will be around 62% by the time the polls close at 10:00 pm - if voting is extended from the 9:00 pm closing time.
