Google is also getting involved in the elections for the 25th Knesset.
The leading search engine in the world today dedicates its doodle to the democratic process that is happening today (again) in Israel.
For those who have not yet encountered the word doodle, we note that it is an illustration based on the Google logo that is displayed instead of the usual symbol on the site's home page in order to indicate special events that apply on that date.

If you surf to Google.com (and from a test we conducted, to any international variation of it), you will surely notice that the second O in the logo, the company has become a ballot box with the Israeli flag emblazoned on it, just before the ballot is inserted into it.
In addition, a share symbol next to the doodle will allow you to share it on social networks and by email, while clicking on the logo itself will lead you to a results page with information and current articles related to the elections, according to your default language (we found results in Hebrew, English and Arabic), so that you stay in the loop.
Also, on the search results page, the Google logo on the upper-left side of the screen was also given a blue-and-white treatment, with the two O letters converted to the Israeli flag.

For those interested, Google's first doodle was created in August 1998 to commemorate the Burning Man festival that year, when the festival's logo appeared behind the second O in the search engine's logo.
Since then, thousands of different doodles have been created that indicate, among other things, holidays, birthdays of personalities, sports events and other defining dates, with some being uploaded only to the Google home page in the relevant countries, while others are displayed all over the world.
Today, as mentioned, the Doodle is dedicated to the elections in Israel.
