Azrieli Tel Aviv on the day of the local elections/PR
Less than half of the selection percentages.
The turnout indicates an unnecessary day worth billions.
From 2018 until today there were 7 election sabbaths, 2 municipal and 5 for the Knesset.
The low voter turnout requires rethinking the Sabbath day, which is a heavy burden for employers.
There are businesses that this day cost them tens and even hundreds of thousands of shekels, even in their difficult situation.
Eran Siev, chairman of the Association of Renovation Contractors, attacks the state's decision to grant a sabbath day due to the local elections. According to him, "over half of the public, a large part of them salaried workers who did not go to work, received money for a sabbath day and did not come to vote.
According to him, "those who did not vote - should not receive money for the Sabbath."
Regarding his industry, Siv says: "Even so, the renovation industry is in total collapse, so the state is adding another blow to the small businesses that are still holding on and working. It's ridiculous that the employee doesn't come to work, doesn't go to the polls and is supposed to get paid for that day."
