The Knesset has finally entered the electronic era. The Knesset House Committee decided unanimously Tuesday that MKs will cast electronic ballots, rather than raising their hands, when a vote is called for. MKs will have a button next to their seat which they will press for a no or a yes. One problem that has not yet been worked out is how to prevent an MK from pressing the button several times, and thus register several votes.
