Three down, two to go

Inside Jerusalem's mayoral race, as three candidates were elimated on election day and two— Ofer Berkovitch and Moshe Lion— moved on to a runoff.

At the end of the 15 hours that polling stations were open, only 222,000 Jerusalem residents bothered to cast ballots – merely a third of the 636,000 eligible – including in the Arab sector qualified to vote.
