Likud has called on Central Elections Committee Chairman Justice Hanan Solberg to re-examine his decision barring party representatives at polling stations from reporting who has voted, according to a report by journalist Dafna Liel. The call follows an urgent request filed by Likud earlier Thursday.
Likud on Thursday publicly called on Central Elections Committee Chairman Justice Hanan Solberg to reconsider his decision barring party representatives at polling stations from reporting who has voted, according to a report by journalist Dafna Liel.
The call comes after Likud filed an urgent request with Solberg earlier Thursday, as The Zioneer reported at 13:04 Jerusalem time, asking him to reconsider the same ban. The dispute over voter monitoring on election day has escalated in recent days, with Solberg issuing a ruling Tuesday banning the use of get-out-the-vote incentive apps that report voter data, citing privacy concerns. Likud and coalition officials have argued that the ban harms elderly, sick, and disabled voters who rely on party transportation to reach polling stations, as The Zioneer previously reported.
The current request seeks to allow party representatives to continue reporting who has arrived to vote, a practice Likud says is essential for getting voters to the polls. The Central Elections Committee has not yet responded to the latest call.
