  1. Let’s just clarify: You can only find out online where to vote in the General Election if you use a particular web browser. Anyone else find this disturbing?
    (But I’m quick to complain – I’m impressed with this simple service)

  2. Now I’ve actually tried it – the site DOES work in Firefox.

    • It is a neat service, isn’t it? Thanks for the update, Paul. Glad you found it did work in Firefox. It didn’t work for a number of people, so I’ll update the article accordingly.

  3. Do you know what the hours of the polling locations will be? I plan a tiul that day, and want to make sure I’ll get back in time to vote.
    TIA

  5. Robert Segal says:

    I live on Rechov Hanassi in Jerusalem. I am handicapped. How do I determine the nearest handicapped-accessible polling station?

    P.S. I should vote at a school on Gedud Haivri but do not think it is accessible.

    • Robert, that information can be found on the same site. If you type the name of your city into that last blank near the disabled access symbol, you will receive a list of handicap-accessible polling stations.

    Will someone kindly translate this information for me? Thank you.
