Civil rights groups prepare to monitor Arab-sector polling as turnout rises

Summary

Times of Israel daily briefings report that civil rights organizations are working to protect voters ahead of polling in Arab communities, amid concern about possible right-wing interference at polling stations, while political parties' positions on judicial reform are under scrutiny. A later briefing says higher-than-expected Arab turnout could lead to long evening lines at polling stations and delayed exit polls, with candidates' recent statements and voting trends in the Arab population also in focus.
