The High Court of Justice issued a conditional order Monday evening requiring political parties to justify why the court should not prohibit them from transmitting information about individual voters on Election Day, according to The Zioneer.
The High Court of Justice on Monday evening issued a conditional order requiring Israel's political parties to show cause why they should not be barred from transmitting real-time information about individual voters on Election Day. The order, first reported via the writers' chat, targets party practices of tracking who has voted and sharing that data among representatives at polling stations. Such practices have drawn scrutiny over voter privacy concerns and potential pressure on voters. The parties must now present legal arguments before a court ruling. Details of the petition and which parties are involved were not immediately available.
