SOUNDBITE (Hebrew) Benny Lahav, Information Centre Manager at the Central Elections Committee: "The percentage of voters who had cast their ballots as of twelve noon was 21.7 per cent, it's a smaller turnout than in the previous elections in 2003 at the same point it was 24 per cent." 7.

The turnout was six percentage points below levels at the same hour in the nation's last election, in 2003. Analysts have said low turnout could hurt the prospects of the front-running Kadima Party. Election Day is a state holiday in Israel, where many of the 8,276 polling stations serving 4.5 (m) million voters are set up in schools. A call centre set up inside the Knesset to deal with any problems during the voting reported everything was proceeding smoothly at all the polling stations. A situation mirrored in the parks around the Knesset where Israeli families were enjoying their day off on Tuesday. Barring an unexpected right-wing surge, Israelis were expected to give a green light to Olmert's unilateralist plan to separate from most Palestinians, using the barrier as a border and retaining huge settlement blocs in the West Bank. Israel began the "disengagement" process last summer with its withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, but Tuesday's vote marked the first time the leading candidate has laid out a concrete vision for the future of the West Bank. Polling stations in most places are to stay open until 10 p.m. (2000 GMT), with first results from unofficial exit polls announced at the same time.
