Israel’s parliamentary election ended with 77.7% turnout of eligible voters by 10 p.m. local time; a figure that, according to the report of the country’s Central Election Committee, has been unprecedented since 1999.

Exit-poll surveys point to a close race and the difficulty of forming the government to come. However, Israel’s Channel 14, one of the outlets close to Benjamin Netanyahu, has predicted that his alliance, by winning 60 seats, will be just one seat short of a majority in parliament.
