Not quite. If you read the link, it's the first two days when work is

Moving the dates leaves about three hours of voting time on the 15th.

But in Israel, it's only the first day (the 13th) when work is forbidden
- so it seems that the rules are 'flexible'.

Wonder who keeps all the essential services running on that day?

Probably the 20% of the population who aren't Jewish or the
4.8% who are no longer practising Jews. If Muslim holy days
coincided with Jewish holy days (which I haven't actually
checked ) then quite possibly they really would be in the
****.
