This is the first time that elections have been held in Israel on a digital platform nationwide, from Eilat to Kiryat Shmona, with hundreds of thousands of voters.
In Israel, there are about 601,000 eligible voters for the Histadrut, and they had 2,031 computerized voting positions at their disposal.

The importance of the Histadrut elections lies in the fact that it is the largest workers' organization in the country, which also unites the government workplaces, the "shalterlists" who can in one moment disable most of the essential services in the public service.
While Shevar David is more identified with the large committees, among them are the Airports Authority, the Electric Company, Haifa Port and Ashdod Port, Israel Railways and Clalit Health Services - my eyes are more on the workers themselves and less on the chairman of the strong committees.
